Thank you for sharing this very sad news, Donn. Mel was really one of a kind and had an ever present naughty twinkle in his eye.

He will be very sorely missed.

I got word last night that Mel, KC0P passed away in his sleep on March 30th.

Mel was a good long-time friend and loved ham radio. A ready supporter of NLRS, he
was a consistent NLRS Monthly Breakfast attendee and usually had interesting and
informative presentations for Aurora meetings. As an avid VHF+ contester he operated
Rover (along with Carol, N0HZO) in most of the contests (including January in
Minnesota!). He will be missed by NLRS and VHF+ contesters in the upper mid-west.

There's talk of a radio garage sale (NO details) in Rochester "sometime" in the future.
