Jim Dixon's passing, and Allstar Link transition
Hello everyone, It is with deep regret that my long time friend Jim Dixon passed away on 12/16. I've known Jim since we were teenagers, and our interest in electronics engineering was self-reinforcing for both of us. Jim was a bright and caring individual who really loved socializing with others. With regard to Allstar Link, Jim did give me access to the servers, and I have been working to transition control to Steve Zingman N4IRS. He will take over management of Allstar Link. We are doing a lot of work behind the scenes to make sure that Allstar Link continues to be as Jim envisioned it. In the near term, Steve and his team will create a non-profit entity forAllstar Link. Management of Allstar Link is such that it requires a team of individuals all working together to ensure its long term viability. We currently have atransition team in place running the day-to-day operations, node numbers, etc. Final note: At this time donations to Jim's Paypal account should not be sent to his account since we don't have control over it. We will set up something soon to handle incoming donations,and will let everyone know when it is in place. Steve WA6ZFT
Personally I am going to miss Jim's bubbly personality and humor, at the core he was just a good person! Although Allstar Link will live on and hopefully in the vision and direction that Jim would have wanted, I am not sure there is any one single person that could contribute to the project as much as Jim did. He will be greatly missed.

Greetings Steve & All, We are definitely saddened to hear about Jim's passing. The Dude was always there to provide guidance when I first stood up the Hawaii/Mainland Allstarlink network. He definitely was a trailblazer. I am glad to have had the opportunity to talk to him several times through the years about Ham Radio and other of his interests. He will be missed. I will continue to pledge support to the Alsltarlink group as Jim would have wanted it to continue on. Rest in peace Jim 73 and Aloha Dave AH6OD 27196, 28387, 28508, 41174, 42760 On Mon, Dec 26, 2016 at 1:58 PM, Steve Rodgers <steve@rodgers619.com> wrote:
