Hi All,

I thought you might be interested in seeing this press release issued by Martti, OH2BH a few minutes ago.  If you need a Z6 QSO, the WPX Contest this weekend probably will be a good time to get one (or more!) in your log.

The association, SHRAK, is proud to have a new Yaesu/Acom station with

WPX SSB/CW contests.

Today marked a farewell meeting for David Meadows, Z63MED from the U.N. 
fame who was the first foreigner who took the local Z6 license under the 
SHRAK auspices and is now heading back to U.S. after three years of 
service and 34.364 QSOs under his belt.
