He had undertaken a large work. The materials you sent contain two parts: a. descriptions of antennas b. software for "convenience" The "software for convenience", while especially helpful to your husband, would probably require another person to have a computer arrangement close, if not identical, to that of your husband in order to be equally as convenient for another person. The "description of antennas" portion seems quite useful as a set of examples and as a source that other hams might "mine" for ideas when they set about creating antennas. With your explicit permission, I would like to place the "descriptions of antennas" on a web site so that they might be freely available for hams and engineers to use as they desire. If that meets with your approval, would you be so kind as to let me know: 1. Your late husband's name and callsign so that I might attach proper credit to the postings ? 2. Perhaps some biographical data for your late husband ? 3. Would you desire to contribute a personal note ? 4. If you agree, would you be willing to do so in writing so that there might be no question about the origin and availability of these materials ? I will await your next communication, and again I thank you for the opportunity to examine this work.

(Our university has very large computers, and it would be very hard to "attach too much"!) I confess that I thought I had responded. I am not surprised to learn that I have not, however, given the business of the season. Thank you for giving permission to use your husband's files and software. I plan to "post" them to the Internet, at a site devoted to antenna design, and with proper credit to your husband. What was his amateur radio callsign ? Could you provide some biographical information concerning him ? Perhaps when he was licensed ? What were his enthusiasms concerning amateur radio ? What inspired his interest in antenna work ? The web site that I anticipate using is expressly intended for information such as that contained in your husband's work. It is hosted by Ray, WB6TPU, in California. I will have to check the exact reference. When I am looking for work related to antennas, I consult that web site, as do a lot of other people in the field. Perhaps you would be kind enough to compose a note that I could include in the materials and place on the site? That note could explain our conversations, and provide a "personal flavor" from someone who understood your husband's enthusiasm and passion more than any other --- namely yourself. Again, pardon me for not offering a follow-up sooner.

Please feel free to shorten it or to cut some parts when you will publicize it, and please correct my English where it is necessary (I am writing as words come in my mind and not with a dictionary on my knees). The first name of my late husband was Hartmut. In international QSOs he normally called himself Hart because of better understanding. In March 1965, aged 19, he got his first callsign DL8ON. 9 years later, still being a student, he gave back his callsign as there was no time and no opportunity for radio amateur activities, perhaps it was also a financial question at that time. The callsign had been given to an other radio amateur lateron. In August 1981 Hart changed his mind and he applied for a license again. Now he got the callsign DL5SAY which he kept until his death. This period of amateur radio I participated. Hartīs enthusiasm concerning amateur radio was the technical aspect. He bought good devices from Yaesu, and then he started to build further devices himself, e.g. a PA with 500 W and many small devices for the improvement of transmission etc. The other passion concerning this hobby was to experiment with antennas. At home he had a normal (?) ground plane and also a butter nut he ordered from USA. On many vacation trips the amateur radio equipment was part of our baggage, and each time he had new ideas in creating antennas with some "simple wires". He had a very good feeling for antennas and resulting from this a great knowledge. The biggest success was our vacation trip to Guadeloupe in October 1992 (with 15 kg equipment) where he throw a wire over the orange trees and where he got many pile ups. As Hartīs antenna at home had a big range he had QSOs with people in the whole world, often with American radio amateurs of course. He liked to participate contests and to distribute points. Very often he only listened to the radio amateur traffic. In July 1997 we got the diagnosis of cancer. In the following 3 1/2 years we have fighted together for his life. These years have been full of hope and full of despair. In this time he needed new purposes in life, and one was to work on antennas. He spent much time on this. In parallel he trained for running, and with the cancer and with chemotherapie he run two marathons and several half marathons. Hartmut died on 31th January 2001. He was a wonderful person! His whole amateur radio equipment including miles of antenna cables and lots of electrical components etc. I have given to a small radio amateur club in our town. There are many young people, and the club has not much money, there was no club station, no antennna, etc. These people have been enthusiastic about the comprehensive and good equipment. I am sure that Hartmut would be glad about my decision. Now I wrote a rather long story, but I think this was necessary to make you a little bit familiar with Hartmut. If you really publicize anything from him, would you then please so kind to let me know the address of the web site? I still have a last question: did the graphical antenna diagrams I sent you on 20th November complete the first information, or are they not necessary to understand the work of Hartmut? I am closing for today with best regards Ursel.

I had included too much files - today I try it again with some less files as examples, and as I am a little bit lazy I copy the lost mail hereafter: thank you so much for your answer. I would be glad if somebody could use anything of my husbands work, and of course I will give you any permission to publicize it, and also some data of my husband. But first I would like to start a further trial with some files producing very nice antenna diagrams. I am not sure whether they could also be interesting. I know Hartmut worked on them, but perhaps they are even resulting from your own SW? Second point is: could I give some further information concerning the SW? It is developped under Linux, and when I open gnecx on my PC I get some kind of pop-up for several selections, seems very useful. I wonder if this doesnīt work in your environment. The guy to whom I had sent the files (I lost the contact) did also not know anything about the computer arrangement of my husband, but he was very enthusiastic concerning the program. Please excuse that I take up your time once again, but I want to be sure that I made no mistake in sending uncomplete information. Hopefully you can understand me. Thank you for the time spent!
