W8ZJE 1955 Adrian, Michigan
Operator: Vince W. Ekman 1916-2015
W8ZJE was formerly W9DEH U.S.
Army Signal Corps. He was a fantastic long time CW man, enjoyed
40 meters.
When I knew Vince, his antenna of choice was a HI-Gain Vertical
array which served him well.
Vince enjoyed the hamfests, generally attended many each year.

on the key.
