He changed the face of DXing in a big way and was the first of the
real DXpeditioneers and led the way for other pioneers of his ilk like
Gus Browning and OH2BH.
Mostly before my time, but an amazing fellow by all accounts. He was 85.
It should be remembered that he was doing his thing mostly solo in a small
sailing craft back in the days before modern aids like GPS, solar power, solid
state radios or even electronic depth finders were common. Had to have been
quite a sailor as well as radio operator.
Most of all he was a true DX pioneer who left a legacy that will be remembered.
