Unfortunately Klaus Schumacher died one month ago, at the age of 85. So there will be no more new videos from him...

Yes, we marked his passing at the time -

hello, nice post.
there is another post where he was working on cooling the lnb to lower the noise figure.
first he used freon spray, then he was going to use a cooling transistor like the 12 v portable refrigators.

Aww. I hadnt heard he had died - must have been when I was on holiday and only dropping in now and then. RIP Klaus.

..I too had no idea Klaus had joined the spectral host in the ether ...
A true pioneer of the hobby ..
An inspiration to many ...
My admiration at his abilities and achievements ....and my condolences to all that knew him .

A legend has passed this way ...and won't be soon forgotten.
