[CQ-Contest] K0OU Silent Key

[Drew Vonada-Smith]

Friends,


I am very sad to announce the passing of fellow contester Steve Lufcy, K0OU.  Steve passed away quietly on Saturday after a battle with cancer.


Steve was an active member of the Kansas City Contest Club, and many of you will remember his cheery voice on SSB contests.  He was also an excellent CW op.  Some of you may remember Steve as KM0L.  Steve was the organizing force for Field Day at his local club in Raytown, MO for many years, and he later brought that FD spirit to KCCC.  He was a frequent MO and Midwest Division winner in many contests, and even in his last year with us, Steve made an appearance in most major contests.


We will all miss Steve.  In honor of his memory, KCCC members hope to work many of you in the upcoming NAQP CW and SSB contests using the name Steve.


73,
Drew K3PA
