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

K3TKJ, Alan L. Waller, of Laurel, DE, passed away on Monday, 
leaving behind a legacy cherished in the amateur radio community. 
Licensed since 1962 under his original call sign, Al was renowned 
for his passion for 6-meter DXing, operating a remarkable station 
featuring eight long-boom Yagis atop a 220' tower and several 
additional HF beams. He contributed his expertise as an operator at 
the W3PP HF contest station, collaborating with fellow radio 
enthusiasts. In 1996, Al founded the QSL.net and QTH.net websites, 
transforming online resources for hams worldwide, and his 
groundbreaking work earned him the Dayton Hamvention Technical 
Excellence Award in 2002. After retiring from web work in 2008, he 
entrusted his domains to KA9FOX, ensuring the sites' continued 
service to the radio community. Al's pioneering spirit and 
technical achievements will be fondly remembered by friends and 
colleagues alike.
