W9DEH 1940 Ironwood, 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.
