[Moon] [Moon-Net] OH2PO SK

[DW Harms (Dick)]

Thanks for informing us Jukka. Last year december I was in south Finland together with PA3C and visited some EME-friends, Eino OH2DG, Jussi OH5LK.
Matti was in hospital. Nevertheless he phoned me from there saying he had a minor health issue (...) but that his wife would like us to see the station. We were welcomed by her and she showed us the magnificant dish that Matti built with his bare hands. Lots of wood in the magnificant base structure, and a remarkable azimuth rotation system with cables.
I only worked Matti from PI9CAM as I dont have 70cm, but I remember his excellent handsended CW.

RIP Matti and my condoleances to Matti's very kind wife and the rest of the family

Dick PA2DW

EME community will remember his big signal and dish on 432 MHz which he rebuilt several times after strong winds took it down. Matti, you will be missed.
