I worked him twice, back in '93 via AO-13 Mode-B, SSB. I gave him a 58 each time. (My reports weren't so good!) Our first contact was a brief one, on the first weekend I ever operated satellite. The bird was crowded and I didn't really know what I was doing. The second QSO later in the year

Sad to hear that John is gone. He was one of the first QSO's I had in 1993 on RS10. After that we had QSOs on many of the satellites. I also remember him from the AMSAT-UK Colloquia where he helped to introduce new users to satellites. Always friendly and good to talk with. The last 3 to 4 years
