RAC NL Bulletin nlb0609

1) It's official: we have another 160m dxcc in VO land.  The latest 
recipient of this prestigious award from the ARRL for making 2 -way 
contact with 100 countries is Frank VO1HP.  Frank has been very 
active on 160m both as an operator and experimenter.  There 
are only about a dozen Canadian amateurs who have reached this 
level of achievment. Congratulations Frank!                   

2) Gene Zimmerman W3ZZ who writes the 50 MHz and Up column for QST is 
interested in reports from VO land 
 to the amazing Es season on 6 this summer
Gene said he'd " like to see the view from VO since you get openings 
that the rest of us don't,  even in a good summer like this one" in 
recent correspondence to the NL SM who is compiling a report.
Please forward any info to VO1NA at rac.ca.
