Without Al there would not have been an SFDXA Reflector, or an SFDXA 
website 25 years ago. In 2000 I began both with wonderful assistance 
from K3TKJ. Through a time when things were tenuous...he quickly was 
running out of server space due to the overwhelming response. But 
donations kept it going then and they still matter. They're now in the 
capable hands of KA9FOX.
Good DXing and RIP Al,
Bill W2CQ/
