I am so sad to hear the news about Mert, W0UFO.??I remember working him many times over the years in the Zombie Shuffle. The last time that I went to Dayton, probably about 10 years ago, I happened to be waiting in line with a friend for a breakfast table at the FDIM hotel. There were two hams in from of us and only one table for four so the waitress asked if we would share which we did. I was very surprised and pleased to find that I was sharing a table with Mert, W0UFO. It was really great to meet him in person.?

My last contact with Mert was probably about 2 years ago. I was operating portable with my IC-705 and JPC-12 vertical from a beautiful spot along the Rideau River and had a very nice ragchew QSO with him. He remembered meeting me at breakfast at FDIM that time.??
