MELLISH REEF DXPEDITION NEWS - Tropical storms (03-19-2009 from AA7JV) Thursday, March 19, Marion Reef. The weather has gotten worse. The team are experiencing tropical storm strength winds (40 to 50 kts) and continuous torrential rains. To the east of them the tropical low is in the process of developing into a tropical storm or cyclone. The best they can hope is that it will drift past them to the south. The reef provides some protection for now, but they will have to decide soon whether they need to escape from here and return to the main-land or try to stick it out there. Currently they are hoping that the weather will ease up by Sunday and they will be able to continue onto Mellish on Sunday or Monday. -------------------------------------------- LATEST JT1R NEWS - 18/03/2009 5:30 UTC - Alexey UA4HOX We are hooking up the rigs, computers, erecting antennas.

[UBA HF News] -------------------------------------------- Bill Gipps, VE7ISV, new BC/YK Regional Director - Following the March 1, 2009, close of nominations for the British Columbia/Yukon Region Director position, an Election Committee was convened, chaired by RAC Corporate Secretary, Linda Friars, VE9GLF. The committee met to open and review the sole nomination received for the position, as required by the By-laws. There being no other nominees, and the nomination documents found to be in order, the committee declared Bill Gipps, VE7ISV, elected as the RAC Director for the BC/YK Region to complete the remainder of a two-year term that began January 1, 2009, effective immediately. The RAC president, board and executive welcome Mr. Gipps and thank him for volunteering his services. Past Director Ed Frazer, VE7EF, who did not stand for re-election, had agreed to stay on by special appointment of the Board in an acting role pending the election of a replacement. RAC extends a heartfelt thank-you to Mr. Frazer for his years of service on the Board and for his dedication and commitment to Radio Amateurs of Canada. [RAC Bulletin] -------------------------------------------- Scheduled RAC AGM Postponed March 18, 2009 Due to a change in the bookkeeping system at the Radio Amateurs of Canada headquarters office resulting in unforeseen related complications, the Annual General Meeting of RAC members, scheduled for May 24, 2009, at Sorel-Tracy, Québec, has had to be cancelled. The hamfest organisers were notified directly, prior to release of this bulletin. Presentation of an audited financial statement at the AGM is an important and long established practice, facilitating face to face discussion and questions from members. Because of the unexpected delay caused by the transfer to a new bookkeeping method, the possibility of an audited statement being ready for the AGM is virtually nil. This conclusion was reached at a recent special meeting of the RAC Board. It was deemed adviseable to make this decision now, to give sufficient notice to the Québec Provincial Hamfest organisers rather than waiting to the last minute in the faint hope the AGM might still take place as planned, only for it be cancelled with very little notice. That would have been unfair to the RAC membership and to the hamfest organisers. RAC has been looking forward to the Quebec venue for the AGM and deeply regrets the need for this decision. Another venue for the required 2009 AGM is being sought and will be announced as soon as one is known. R. D. (Bob) Cooke VE3BDB President and Chairman of the Board Radio Amateurs of Canada Inc.
