Remembering W2UJR - On The Anniversary of His Passing

[W1UJR]

Today marks the 13th anniversary of the date my friend and Elmer, Dick Haungs W2UJR, became a Silent Key. Hard to forget the date, it also marks my own birthday, number 47.
Amazing gentleman, I was privileged to know him, as know where many here.

Very good read Bruce. This link which is the first one on the page will not work.

YUP remember Dick during my fledgling days as a JN AMer during the middle 90's.
Probably on the air every morning on 1880 or so and nice QSO's all the time.

I only ever had one QSO with Dick but it was nice as well as business like. I was told he was THE authoratative resource on UTC transformers. He gave me the information on a CG-14. Strange that I still remember the details of that QSO.

I used to work Dick all the time on 160.  He always was working on something.  The QSO's with him were very enjoyable.  Those were the days when he did not work 75M.  He never told me exactly the reason why, but he painted a pretty good picture!  Later he did get back on 75. 
A true gentlemen for sure.

The very first time I worked Dick on 160m, he already knew about me from listening to me on 75m.  So, he may have stopped transmitting on 75m long ago but he never gave up listening there.

I used to often listen to him in the early mornings on 160m from my bedside receiver before getting up.  He was a very knowledgeable man and I often took notes on his technical topics.  Early morning 160m has never been the same after his passing.

Joe, I never knew that he eventually returned to 75m.  I never heard him there.
