I was listening to the '247 DX Net late last week at approximately
1900Z-2000Z and he was in QSO with John, N0JT, in the pre-net banter.

Last time I talked with Alan was over 3 months ago and at that time his
health had stabilized after a stay in the hospital and he was planning a
cruise ship vacation.

I hadn't been on 20 in the afternoons for awhile but had some time and
noticed that Alan wasn't around. Kinda miss listening to the boxing
match. Is Alan's health alright? He's a bit of an institution by some
standards. Create your own puns.
