13IR249 Ralph – silent key

Today we have to tell you that our member and good friend Ralph also known as 13IR249 from the city Roth in Germany, suddenly passed away while he was in Asia together with 13IR102 Lars.
Just out before he was active on Asia tour activating several divisions for the 11 meter community.
Many of us know Ralph from the 1980s, when many people started with 11 meter DX.
Ralph was a fine operator and the polite man. The world will miss him.
Our condolences and thoughts are with his family and friends and also to Lars, 13IR102 who was together with him doing an Asia tour.
Rest in Peace Ralph !
