It is with great sadness that we report the death
of Ulrich Bihlmayer, DJ9KR, who passed away on December 16, 2017 after a
long illness. Uli served in the DARC Bandwacht for 45 years of which 26
years as Coordinator.
At the 2005 IARU Region 1 General Conference Uli
was appointed deputy coordinator of the lARU Region 1 Monitoring System.
Together with IARUMS coordinator Wolfgang Hadel DK2OM, he led a team
that grew from 5 to 24 members. Being a polyglot, Uli specialised in
broadcast intruders and pirates on telephony.
Uli was presented the IARU Region 1 medal in 2011
before he stepped down from the IARU Monitoring Service in 2012. Our
thoughts are with his family at this sad time.
