David A. Splitt KE3VV (USA-CA #950) became a silent key on 6/29/2026.

Dave was a very active county hunter who joined the CCA Top Lists in December 2021.
He last submitted county slot totals to the Top Lists in April 2026 and he had achieved
County Challenge Level Awards in the Mixed (VI), CW (V), Phone (III), Data (II) and
Combo (III) modes. He had also collected all 3077 county slots on 20m in the Mixed
(CCA Certificate #58 on 11/30/2021), CW (CCA Certificate #9 on 12/19/2021) and Phone
(CCA Certificate #30 on 11/30/2021) modes early on in his participation with the CCA
Top Lists.

Dave is a former president of, and legal counsel for, MARAC and he was the SE area
director of the club when he passed away. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Dave's
daughter, the rest of his family and his friends. RIP, Dave.
