DL2BWG - Manfred 'Ed' Finke
First Call: DL2BWG in 1982

It was with great regret and sadness that the board of the district of Brandenburg had to take note of the fact that our long-time speaker for EMC and technology as well as chairman of the local association Neuenhagen, Manfred Finke, DL2BWG, gave the microphone and button out of hand forever on 17 May.

Manfred Finke has been an organized radio amateur since 1965. With the founding of RSV e.V., he was elected as one of the deputies of the Regional Council Frankfurt/Oder. In the district of Brandenburg he has been involved since November 1997 as a consultant for EMC and technology.

Since the founding of the local association Neuenhagen, Y17, Manfred was chairman of this local association and thus one of the longest-serving OVVs in our district. In recognition of his achievements, he was awarded the "Honorary Award of the District of Brandenburg" in 2001.

We lose with him a funk friend appreciated by his calm, humorous manner and his commitment to amateur radio in Brandenburg.
