Hello Brian,
Thank you for forwarding this on and very sad news indeed. A packet radio legend has passed and his expertise will be sorely missed. I did try to forward your email to his n1uro email list at uronode@n1uro.ampr.org but I haven't seen it post there yet. I do hope that his excellent uronode Linux packet radio software at https://sourceforge.net/projects/uronode/ and his other projects will continue to live on.

It is with great sadness that I pass along the news that Brian Rogers N1URO is now a silent key. He passed on Tuesday evening January 4th, 2022.
Brian was the author of the URONode packet radio software and past president of the Eastnet Amateur Radio Network (https://www.eastnetpacket.org/). He was an avid packet user and contributor to various software packages, not just his own. He was also the AmprNet coordinator for the states of MA, NH, VT, PA, MD, DE, CT, RI and ME.
Professionally his was an IT consultant and ran his company Network Continuum Connecticut (https://www.nc-ct.net/).
He was a mentor to many who wanted to operate packet nodes or set up an apmr.org station. He had a broad knowledge of many other node operating systems, keeping nodes of all types running at his QTH. He was a wealth of detailed knowledge and will be missed immensely.
