Contest committee

With great regret we have to inform you about OM Jan Kikkert passed away on May 22nd 2009 after a 4 month stay in hospital. Just before the PACC 2009 contest he was scheduled for some 'maintenance' procedures. He expected to  be back on the job in 3 weeks. Sadly things turned for the worse. We shall remember Jan as an avid contester and DX'er. May he rest in peace.

Chantal - PA3GQG stepped forward to fill in the vacant position of PACC Contest Manager. With the addition of Rein - PA0R and Taco - PE1SAC the committee is now complete and hopes to expand the success of the  PACC Contest, one of the 'biggest among the smaller' contests. 

All contest related correspondence, except for the logs itself, can be sent to:

 

Chantal Koekkoek, PA3GQG
PACC contest manager

Aurelio Bellussi, PC5A

Rein Couperus, PA0R
