[CQ-Contest] K8CC SK

[Hal Offutt]

Very sad to hear this.  Dave had been inactive recently but was once a 
real beacon of activity.

I loved his NA software - I used it for years.  It had everything I ever 
needed in a contest logging program.   I would still be using it if it 
worked with Windows.

He once invited me to spend the night at his place so I could get a good 
start the next morning a MIQP mobile run.  I got to see firsthand the 
great station and antenna farm he put together.

Dave's MIQP write-ups were real masterpieces and set the standard for 
QSO party write-ups.  They are still available on the MIQP website.  He 
also knew how to run a meeting and keep people involved when he led the 
Mad River Radio Club.

Dave will be missed by many.

He was a long time member and past president of the Mad River Radio Club, author of the NA contesting logging software, a log checker for the ARRL 10 Meter and 160 Meter contests, and chairman of the Michigan QSO Party. He built and operated, both as single op and multiop, a very competitive contest station in Ypislanti, Michigan.
