[CQ-Contest] Was "R2" a valid Mult in IARU?

[Tim Ellam]

That should have been me! As the IARU R2 Area "A" director(Canada and Bermuda) my exchange was "R2" rather than "02". I had this trouble last year as most logging programs default to zone 2 when they enter a VE6. As George indicates, a list of officers and directors in the IARU Admin Council and the three regional executive committees can be found at www.iaru.org 

I'll have to give Don a hard time next time I see him :-)

Roy,

Send an email to Tim, VE6SH.  (ve6sh at rac.ca)  He is IARU Region 2, Area A 
director in Calgary.   He should be able to tell you if VE6HF was an official R2 
headquarters station and, therefore, a mult.  

BTW, I found this info on the iaru.org.
 
73, George
