This is very sad news. Dan was a true gentleman. I remember when I was first licensed and chatting wit him on the repeaters during drive time. He always had some good advice and direction for a "rookie".
Also, he did consulting work in our building at Cox Enterprises in the early 2000s and we would get together for lunch in the company cafeteria occasionally - quite refreshing to discuss DX, antennas, etc. versus the regular business chatter. He will be missed.

I am heartbroken to publish that my dearest friend, Dan Nixon, W4EA, died yesterday. Arrangements are pending.
A moment of thought and prayer for him and his family is all I ask.
Thank you,
