[TAC] Fwd: [MRRC] KK8I QRT => DL2HBX

[Frederick W. Holmes, W1SKU]

Uli will be missed by all. He has a great family of all hams, and was a good friend of ours. I guess we will have to make a trip to Germany to see him again. We wish Uli and his family all the best, and hope that the move back to Germany goes smoothly for him et all.

73 de Fred, W1SKU

  All,

  as of today, I am off the air in the U.S. because we are relocating
  back to DL later this month. Contest QSOs with K3ZO and K1ZZ concluded
  my six year presence on the air as KK8I yesterday.

  It has been a great ride and I would like to thank the U.S. contest
  community for all the fun and camaraderie, both on and off the air. I
  am grateful for the hospitality of the contesters in the region,
  namely K8CC, K3LR, KT8X, W1SKU and K8AZ who invited me to operate
  individually or with a team from their fine stations which are way
  superior to my 100W / G5RV approach at home. Thanks as well to K8BB
  and K8CC for fun mobile operations and to the teams of W8TNO and K8EPV
  for great Field Day experiences.

  I missed quite a bit of the American contest culture, namely
  Sweepstakes and Sprint, but then there is only so much you can do in
  parallel to the real world obligations.

  I am leaving the U.S. with fond memories, some 'wood' for the German
  shack wall and, most importantly, the many friendships that I have
  made here.

  Cuagn from DL!

  73! Uli, KK8I, reverting back to DL2HBX

  P.S.: I tried to send this via the CQ Contest Reflector during the day
  but it does not seem to have worked. My apologies if you are receiving
  this message twice.
