[Paul Signorelli]

Peter Dodd, G3LDO, of East Preston, 
Littlehampton, England, died on November 17. He was 83. Dodd was well known for 
his antenna expertise and was a long-time contributor to the Radio Society of 
Great Britain's journal, RadCom, for which he edited the "Antennas" column. He 
also wrote several articles for QST and QEX. In addition he was the author of 
several books on antennas and on low-frequency operating.

According to Mike Dennison, G3XDV, Dodd was very active in the early days of 
low-frequency experimentation and made the first two-way contact on 73 kHz and 
was part of a very early transatlantic contact on 136 kHz. "He compiled several 
early collections of articles on low-frequency operating, including The LF 
Experimenter's Handbook, which was published by the RSGB in 2000," Dennison 
said.
