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.
Funeral arrangements are;
Friday Jan 14th
5 to 7 pm with a small service at 7 pm

My condolences to his family. I was only chatting with Brian in the
last week or so on BBS echomail (yes, it still exists!). :( Another big
loss to our ranks.

So sad to hear, my thoughts are with his family and all that knew him well. I only just
installed Uronode for the first time a month ago. How wonderful to have his legacy
continue with all these nodes. Hopefully we can keep it going for many years to come.

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(a)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.

David,
We will strive to have those projects live on as best we can. One of
the EastNet officers has already spoke with the family and at the
appropriate time after the service he will be helping the family work things
out and go through his possessions. We are doing our best at this point to
make backups of any data we can. We have already made contact with Chris at
ARDC to appoint an interim 44 net coordinator for the states he covered and
we are quickly working on solutions to create alternate AXIP links on the
packet system. We are also working on a possible plan to move the packet
equipment that was at his home to another site. Brian had mentioned to me
for quite a few years that he was concerned what might happen should his
health get worse. We tried to get some documents built for URONode but that
did not get finished. Your pages for the CentOS system are probably one of
the better sources we have at this time. One is never fully prepared for
when these things happen.
I sent a message to the URONode list but who knows which of my
emails was subscribed to the list so it's likely that it I used the wrong
one and it's awaiting moderation, which won't happen now. I will have to
look through my email archives to see if I can figure out which of my
accounts I should use. I tried to cover all the lists I could think of to
make the announcement. I did not send to the BPQ or JNOS lists. If there are
any others you think I should cover let me know.
Brian N2KGC
