Dan was my contesting elmer, and a great friend. He was a great operator and taught me a lot. This came as a complete shock, and I am extremely sad to see Dan go.
Things will never be the same again.
We miss you Dan, 73 OM. 599 1.

Dan was the very first station I worked on all 6 bands in a contest. Because of that 160 QSO, he was my 50th state for 160m WAS, which was a big deal to me at the time. I never met him personally, but I'll never forget him.
This is very sad indeed.

Dan was way too young to go. Extremely saddened to hear this news today. Only met Dan once but worked him and his station countless times. A true loss to contesting.
RIP OM. Until we work again...

This is very very sad news, Dan was such a nice person with whom I had contact many times during many years.
Nice people are always remembered.

I have spent the last day remembering all of the times I have spent with Dan and wondering why this happened. Dan was a true friend...we not only spent time with Amateur Radio together, we also worked in the same office. Dan and I were a team at the job and spent the last 12 years sharing our days solving problems and developing new inovative ways to improve the networks in Alaska for the FAA. Dan was inspiring and a leader with the ideas he had and the knowledge he carried. Dan Robbins shall always be a name embedded in the Alaska FAA Region and the Amatuer Radio Community. Contesting in Alaska just will not be the same...
With that I say my last report to KL7Y...

Yo,
A kinder, more generous gentleman you will not find anywhere. Dan was Alaska's amateur radio ambassador to the world, was a great elmer, a great technician, a first class operator, and a touchingly benevolent person. He happily shared his station and his skills with anyone who wished to be blessed with his company. He had no secrets, no skeletons, no "bad" side. I loved that guy, and I will miss him for the rest of my life. He will live on as an inspiration to anyone who knew him.
73 Danno,
John

I was honored to be one of Dan's last QSOs, as he was the 20m op at KH7R Sunday afternoon of CQWW SSB when I worked them.
I am sad that I never got to meet Dan in person, but have heard such great things about him from countless others. I can still hear his voice, booming in from Alaska, with that auroral flutter... Kilo Lima Seven Yankee... Dan, we will miss you dearly! See you on the other side...

Hard to beleave...
This is a tremendous loss to all of us.
We never met in person but had hundreds of QSO in and out of contests since mid seventies. We also shared another sport - volleyball. We talked about playing together one day. Now it will not happen.
Dan will always be remembered as a great person and one of the best contesters. My condolences to Dan's family.
R.I.P. dear friend.
