ANARTS officebearers for 1994-1995
----------------------------------
Last night the deferred elections for 1994-5 were held and the 
retiring committee was re-elected unopposed.  So, if you can't 
remember who's who, here's a list:

            President                 Col Davies VK2CTD
            Vice President            Jim Swan VK2BQS
            Secretary                 Pat Leeper VK2JPA
            Treasurer                 Alan Fall VK2DPM

  Col  has  volunteered to be Newsletter Editor,  and  Pat  is 
again the Boadcast Officer. 

Can you help us in any way -- with news items,  or perhaps you 
could  volunteer  to  be a backup relay operator  in  time  of 
illness etc.  If you can, let us know via the callbacks on the 
different  frequencies,  or drop a packet message to VK2JPA at 
VK2AAB  (until VK2RWI comes back on air).  Your assistance  as 
always will be greatly appreciated.  Local news from your club 
is always welcome -- any news in the digital field of  amateur 
radio.

         -------------------------------------------


Snippet from the contest replies
--------------------------------
No  - nothing  to do with the contest - but did you know  that 
the Maple Leaf Radio Society in Canada runs a Maple Leaf award 
for  contacting Canadian prefixes.  What was surprising to  us 
was the number mentioned  in the various awards,  with the top 
award going to those contacting 200 prefixes!

We had no idea Canada had so many prefixes -- these date  from 
after  February  15 1965,  the date when Canada  received  its 
official flag. The club is located in Ontario at Listowel, and 
if  you are interested,  we will include the full address from 
the leaflet which arrived with a contest log from Canada.
