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.
Jim K8MR
