Hi all,

In respect to his wishes, it is with great emotion and great sorrow that I have the sad duty 
to announce the discreet disappearance of our friend, Joël F6FHP.
Joel joined the Silent Key on Saturday, May 26th swept away by the illness of the century, 
which he knew he was reached for only three months and against which, however, knowing his 
days were numbered, he tried to fight with dignity.

A few days before his hospitalization occurred on May 21st, we spent an afternoon together in 
the maintenance of its long Yagi antenna 50MHz, certainly he was extremely weak but no less 
devoid of perfectionism and control.
Full OM, DX and experienced man, Joël F6FHP was an excellent operator and a very active emeritus 
technician internationally known and recognized (MS, EME, Tropo/ MW, etc. ..).
In accordance with his instruction Joël will be cremated in the strictest privacy by tomorrow, 
Thursday, May 31st 2012.
Responsible for making the link with his family, he agreed that I will pass all testimony in 
memory of Joël.
