With regret I have to report that "LARRY" Valeriy G. Agabekov, UA6HZ, 1-st President of Russian Amateur Radio Union is now a Silent Key.
First met Larry in 1970 outside RSGB HQ, which at that time was in Doughty Street. It was in the times when Russians had a minder with them in case they defected, but Larry let his minder slip and we then went off to have a coffee and chat about how it really was in Russia. Never met him since but we have kept in touch and my company Vine Antennas sold him an Expert 1.3K just before he deceased. RIP Larry. 73 Ron GW3YDX
