[PVRCNC] K5KA - SK

[Roberts, Will]

We lost a great contester yesterday when K5KA passed away. I had known Ken for a long time, and had operated with him at HC8N. He was a class act as a radio operator and a human being...

Fellow Hams:



My very good friend Ken Adams, K5KA, passed away this afternoon (Sunday, November 22, 2009) after a 1.5 year bout with cancer.



There will be no formal memorial service, but his XYL is going to set up

a "Condolences" page in the web.   More details when it is up.  Cards

may be send via Callbook Address.



Very fitting that Ken's passing occurred during his favorite contest, and the contest he has been manager of over the past couple of years, ARRL Sweepstakes.



The Contesting community is one fine operator less today, but he will be watching us contesting from his new QTH.



I am missing my friend, but know he is looking over my shoulder during every contest QSO I make.
