Hello DXers and fellow CDXA Members.. I just received a telephone call from
Norma Miller that Jim, K4SQR had passed away this afternoon about 6:00 PM.
He has been suffering with COPD for quite some time and his health has been
declining for many months.  Norma requested that NO calls to the home at the
moment because of arrangements that have to be made. I will send out info in
a day or so about any funeral arrangements. I will attempt to answer any
questions you might have when I have more info.  As most of you might
remember Jim was the former owner of Comtek Systems and he made many 4
Square Antenna phasing systems and other antenna phasing and switching
devices. Comtek Systems was sold to DX Engineering some years ago. He was
also KZ5JM in the Canal Zone in the 1970s, but moved to Charlotte, NC in the
early 1980s.

More info later. Gary Dixon, K4MQG
