Rune Håland - a short obituary

Many of us knew Rune Håland from Egersund, Norway as a very active DX-er and supporter of the free radio community. He was passionate for his hobby; as soon as a broadcast had finished, he would often email to let you know he had heard you. 
Rarely a week went by without an email from Rune; he was a good radio friend.
It was extremely sad to hear of his untimely death and those of use who knew him (although I had never met him) will miss his friendship greatly.

My feelings go out to his wife and children and all of his family.

The article below is translated from the internet newspaper Nettavisen:

A man (51) who was reported missing Thursday after he did not come home on time, was found dead on Thursday afternoon under the ice at the north end of Langvatnet in Egersund. He was found at 13.32 by the crew of a Sea King helicopter. After a short time it became clear that it was the missing man, said operations manager Joran Solheim of the South West police.

The deceased is described as loving the outdoor life and was well known in the area. He was reported missing at 12 o'clock Thursday after he had not come home on time. Volunteers, police, rescue dogs and a Sea King helicopter participated in the search for the man.

The ice in the area is not safe, but we do not yet anything about what happened or how he went through the ice, says Solheim. The man's relatives were notified.
