R.I.P. Henrik Klemetz

One of the most famous DXers of our time, Henrik Klemetz (HK), has passed away early this morning in Sweden. Henrik died in a hospital in the town of Borås as a result of a serious illness. Henrik had lived for years in Colombia, and he was known especially for his unparallelled knowledge about the radio scene in Latin America. In 1989 he wrote a book titled "Latin America by Radio", which was and still is a fabulous guidebook for identifying Latin American stations. In recent years he has not been actively DXing himself, but he has continued to help numerous DXers to identify Spanish-language stations, doing a lot of research, and often discovering the identity of obscure local stations unlisted in any publication. Henrik will be greatly missed among the global DXing community. Henrik also contributed to the DXing.info website, and is featured on this page:
