Peter OE5AUL has been quite ill and passed away early this morning. The ham radio community has lost a loyal SOTA enthusiast, and we will always have fond memories of him.
The members of HB9SOTA send their heartfelt condolences to his wife Sylvia OE5YYN and wish her strength during this difficult time.
Oh, what a sad news!
I’m deeply shocked and very sorry for Peter and Sylvia.
Peter has chased me and I have chased him several times, both on SSB and CW. He is more than 30 times in my log.
My warmest condolences to Sylvia, Peter’s family and all his friends.
R.I.P. Peter…
I am so sorry to hear this. Peter was always a cheerful voice on the bands and a first-class SOTA activator and chaser who I had the honour of meeting at more than one of the Friedrichshafen SOTA dinners.
I can hardly believe it, so sorry for this loss. It was always a pleasure to work him while activating a summit.
My condolences to Sylvia. I will miss him.
