[CQ-Contest] AA5VU, SK

[Kenneth E. Harker]

     It is with sadness that we learned yesterday afternoon about the passing of Dick Kriss AA5VU. Dick was a long-time active member of the Central Texas DX & Contest Club (CTDXCC). Primarily a DXer, Dick was active in RTTY contesting and was our local expert for anything related to digital on MacOS.

     Yesterday, Dick was performing some routine maintenance on his home tower when he lost consciousness.  EMS were able to lower him to the ground, but were unable to resuscitate him.
