Donnie MacKay
GM3SYO
Date: September 2005
Donnie MacKay GM3SYO became a Silent Key in September 2005. His funeral took place in the Old Parish Church Wick on 27th September after which Donnie was laid to rest in Wick Cemetry.
Donnie was not only a very active Radio Amateur, frequently to be heard on 80 and 40 metres, he was also recognised for decades as the "face" of amateur radio in Caithness. This was through his ownership of the Ensign Shop in Wick High Street, a place where you could get your local papers - or, more importantly, your copy of Practical Wireless or Short Wave Magazine, and at the same time have a chat with a fellow enthusiast.
