RAC BULLETIN SERVICE AUTHOR RETIRES

RAC BULLETIN SERVICE AUTHOR RETIRES

After five and a half years, I have decided to hang it up as editor of
the Radio Amateurs of Canada electronic bulletin service and web news
editor. This decision was not taken overnight but but has been in the
works since late September. I would like to thank the following people
(in no particular order), Serge Langlois (VE2AWR), Claude Lalande
(VE2LCF), James R. Hay (VE2VE), Bob Sharpe, (VA3QV), Neil Herber
(VE3PUE) and the many regular contributors. I would also like to thank
Dave Goodwin, (VE9CB/VE3AAQ) for creating this position at the time
when the bulletin service was done on an ad-hoc basis by volunteers at HQ.

Any further notices to the bulletin service should be sent to
<hq.communications@rac.ca> for the immediate future until
<racnews@rac.ca>, <webnews@rac.ca> and <nouvelles@rac.ca> gets
properly re-routed, which should happen in the next few days.

Many thanks to those who supported the bulletin service over all these
years.

Good-bye and 73,

Vernon Erle Ikeda – VE2MBS/VE2QQ
