For those of you who have used the contest logging program VKCL over the last 20 years:
Good evening,
I am sorry to inform everyone that Mike VK3AVV / VK3JV passed away this afternoon, Wednesday January 5th after a long illness.
I have spoken with Mike’s wife, Tammy and she has asked that all members of the EMDRC understand that Mike held a particular
fondness for his friends in the club.
Funeral arrangements have yet to be made, but it is likely to be a private religious affair and with covid restrictions.
When further details are available, I will notify the members.
I am sure that the wider amateur fraternity will miss Mike’s particular skills,
especially those contesters who have benefited from his logging programs over the past 20 years.
Fraternally yours
Peter VK3QI / VJ3P
