[SECC] Fwd: [CQ-Contest] K8CC SK

[Jeff Clarke]

I knew Dave very well. I contested from his station many times over the 
years when I lived in Ohio. I even stayed at his house the night before 
I took my Extra Class license at the Detroit FCC office in 1980. I'm 
very sorry to hear this news.

With sadness we pass along that Dave Pruitt, K8CC, became a Silent Key 
on December 29.  Dave's brother Tom, WB8VMN, reports that Dave passed 
away peacefully and in no pain.
Though slowed in recent years by health issues, Dave was a very 
significant contributor to the contesting community. 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.
Dave's obituary is at:    David Alan Pruett Obituary - Visitation & 
Funeral Information (uhtfuneralhome.com)
The Zoom meeting mentioned there will be held at 1:00 pm EST on Monday.

RIP,  OM.
