On 2nd October 2006, Stefano Galastri IK5IIR, passed away.
He can be considered the european father of EH Antennas, since along to Ted Hart W5QJR was the main promoter and inventor of EH Antennas.
I’ve know personally Stefano since he was member of the local radio club here in Firenze. I’ve attended to some of his lessons on homebrewing EH antennas few years ago. Hams here say he was a gentleman and a very expert ham radio operator, he will be missed among the ham radio community. 73’s Stefano.
