SILENT KEY
It was reported that Jens, OZ5MJ, became a "Silent Key" (SK) this past Sunday,
September 21st, at the age of 77 years. Jens was a well-known DXer who was on
the DXCC Honor Roll,he was also a very active DXer. Whenever there was a
DXpedition, Jens could be found in the pile up. One of his biggest interests was
IOTA hunting, and we are sure that many IOTA DXpeditioners will remember working
him. He was on the IOTA honor roll listed with 982 islands. Thanks to him, IOTA
EU-171 and EU-172 were added to the IOTA list back in year 2000. He was also
very interested in RTTY and PSK31, and operated in quite a few RTTY contests
over the years. He also enjoyed hunting for U.S. counties as well. OPDX and its
readers would like to send out our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of
OZ5MJ.
