(SK)

The chair of the International Amateur Radio Union Region 3 Disaster
Communications Committee, Jim Linton, VK3PC, of Forest Hill, Victoria,
Australia, died on February 22 of thyroid cancer. For many years, Linton was a
consistent and reliable source of news and information regarding Amateur Radio
disaster response activities in IARU Region 3 and was a regular contributor to
Southgate Amateur Radio News.

A Life Member of the Wireless Institute of Australia (WIA), Linton received the
G.A. Taylor Medal in 2011, the WIA's highest honor, for his service to the WIA
Centenary Committee and contributions to Amateur Radio over many years. Linton
was involved in WIA's communications, marketing, and publications efforts, and
he served as the news editor for Amateur Radio magazine. He was a past
president of Amateur Radio Victoria and was its public relations officer.

A veteran radio enthusiast, Linton joined the WIA as a teenager and shortwave
listener. IARU Secretary David Sumner, K1ZZ, called Linton, "a tireless worker
for the common good."
