says, as nowadays 9M4 callsigns are issued for special event or

(9M8).
9M6 - Steve, 9M6DXX and John, 9M6XRO will be active as 9M6DXX/p and

first 60 in the latest Most Wanted Survey. [TNX IT9DAA]
IPARC ---> A new Hungarian IPARC (International Police Association Radio
Club) Award is now available from Gab, HA3JB. Complete details can be found

Northern California DX Foundation elected the following officers and
directors: Len Geraldi/K6ANP (President), Al Burnham/K6RIM (Vice
President), Tom McShane/NW6P (Secretary), Bruce Butler/W6OSP (Trasurer),
Dave Pugatch/KI6WF, Chuck Ternes/N6OJ, Glenn Vinson/W6OTC, Steve

QSL ZF1WD ---> Ken, G4RWD is not the QSL manager for this recent operation.
"Whilst I have operated several times as ZF1WD", Ken says, "I have not been
active from the Caymans since 2002". He did not renew his license, so "it
may well have been re-issued but there may be a possibility of this being a
pirate".
+ SILENT KEYS + Amateur Radio Lighthouse Society's (ARLHS) co-founder and
former Vice President Thomas C. Jednacz (W7QF) passed away on 17 November
at 68 years of age. Other recently reported Silent Keys include Francis D.
