It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our fellow SOTA chaser, Salvador EA3EBJ, who became a Silent Key on February 11th 2025.
Salvador was an active and dedicated chaser in the SOTA program, with over 5000 QSOs logged. Among the summits he most frequently chased were G/SP-004 (Shining Tor), EA3/BC-080 (Turó de Can Pascual), and SV/TL-087 (Podariko).
We extend our deepest condolences to his family and friends. His passion for SOTA and his presence on the bands will be greatly missed.
Sad news. Even though the last QSO with him was some time ago, I remember his callsign well and the memorable way he called. My condolences to his family and friends.
That’s sad to hear. 9 times in my activator log though his callsign is very familiar so I assumed it would have been more. I’ve probably heard him many more times in SOTA pile-ups. RIP.
Writing to a friend who has left us, it is very hard, hours of radio sharing dreams, we did QSO on VHF and when there was an alert from Sota we went to Hf to hunt down the activator correspondent, the friend Salvador EA3EBJ
When I attended to him, he transmitted illusion that reached me and created more activators, because he did it with passion and illusion, that is what I will remember from him, and I will remember him forever, I already miss you Salvador RIP
