Many thanks for the info Jeff . . . I had wondered where he was.
Like others, I have worked Jack countless times over the decades on 160m.
Always a great signal, and always takes the trouble to give you a call if he
hears you on.
If you're in contact again, do please pass my very best to him
At Clipperton 2000 FO0AAA I convinced the 160m leader to let me try SSB.
When I sat down and started calling CQ with no immediate response, I knew
the first contact would be Jack, VE1ZZ and he didn't disappoint me.

Hi Paul - I know this is a TopBand reflector, so I'll keep this comment
short.
Jack was being modest. He was among the very first of us VE's to get 6m
DXCC as well.
I think maybe #2 or #3..I can never seem to recall the exact order after
VE1YX...

Hi Jeff,
I'm a 50
Hey Jeff,
Sorry to hear about Jack. I have toured the wonderful VE1ZZ antenna farm &
shack with Jack back in the early 90's and marveled at how did he
(remarkable) things on a shoestring budget.
He partially inspired me to get busy on Top Band too ! He surely must've
been one of my first
hope Jack hangs in there for a lot
longer.
