From Peter Doughty G3TKK :_
Sorry to have missed a few weeks on
the Nets, been away and also seemed
to be busy with chores around the
house and family after a long layoff
when I was unwell.
Now off (Friday) to Antigua for 2
weeks holiday and hope to be on
the air from there as V25TK but on
CW only,
HF bands from 30 through to 15 so
long as I can get some unobtrusive
wires from the bedroom to some palm
tree or other!
Will keep an ear open for any of the
ROAR team. Heard G3LUW making an
SSB contact with the K5D expedition
this morning with his super signal.
Will report in again but sorry to be
an irregular attendee these days

And from President John W8AUV,
Dear ROAR
Fellowship Member,
With this email and the attached
Addendum Two, we welcome 17 new members,
say good-bye to nine silent keys, and
inform you of changes to the data of 17
current members.
If you have moved (changed your
address), telephone number or email
address, please let us know
AS SOON
AS POSSIBLE as the
2009-2010 Membership Directory is now in
its final stages of preparation
before going to print.
Worldwide distribution is scheduled for
May 2009.
This is also a good time to check your
name in the Membership Directory and see
if you are current with your dues.
If the number behind your name is less
than a “9” you are not current. The “9”
represents 2009. If your number is “9”,
think ahead and contribute now for 2010
and beyond.
Consult page 22 of the current 2008-2009
directory for membership/dues
information or go to our ROAR web site
www.ifroar.org
and click on “Not a member” on the home
page
which brings up membership application
and dues information. It would be best
to complete the form and send it to the
address shown or to your area Vice
President.
We will update your membership data upon
receipt.
ROAR will be at the
Birmingham
(England) Rotary International
Convention this coming 20-24 June 2009.
Come to operate GB2RI (the official
Convention Station) and attend our

our new Fellowship President, EA7GSU

We hope to see many of you in Birmingham during the Convention.
