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
