We have received some sad news. Rainer, DL3JRA, op in the DL2025C team, unfortunately passed away on January 21st while on holiday in Egypt.

He had been looking forward to the 2025C event so much and wanted to get back into his favorite CW mode after his vacation. In the past ham radio events, Rainer was one of the most active CW operators. He particularly enjoyed being out and about on 80 and 40 m in the morning hours.

For all of us who knew and appreciated Rainer personally, this news was a shock. Our thoughts are with his family and all friends and acquaintances in these difficult times.

R.I.P. dear Rainer
