Information received from K9MA:
My friend Kari Korhonen, OH5TS died this morning. I met him many times in Finland, and we kept in touch between visits. He had a big tower on Kuorsalo, an island in the Gulf of Finland near his home in Kotka. He also had a smaller station at his home, as he had to get to Kuorsalo by boat or snowmobile, which wasn't always possible. He was also a regular operator at OH5Z, the contest station of the late OH5NQ. He was an excellent contest operator, and just a really nice guy.
73,
