We have learned the sad news of the death of Hans Berg, DJ6TJ. Hans was Chairman of the old HF Working Group and the Region 1 HF Committee from 1984 until 1993. He was also the "international face" of DARC, as Foreign Relations Committee Chairman. During those years he made many friends around the world and was well respected by those who knew him.
