Peter was not only one of the active pioneers on LF but without his background work talking to various German and European authorities and people in charge, today we would not have the CEPT recommendation that is the basis for the allocation of longwave to the amateur radio service in Europe. Personally to me Peter was a great help. After I met him personally on the Ham Radio in Friedrichshafen a couple of years back I had lengthy discussions on equipment problems and antenna solutions with him by phone and e-mail in which he always patiently answered all my questions and helped me finally to get an LF signal on the air. The first station I ever heard on LF was DA0LF, I had my first qso with DJ8WL. I will miss his advise, friendlyness and, last, but not least, his slow-CW signal that appeared on my screen steadily and regularely nearly every evening. Vy 73 Geri, DK8KW (W1KW)
