[SFDXA] FW: [FRC] Fire destroys V26B contest station

[Alan Maslin]

Hi all,
 
Please read below. I don't know what, if anything, SFDXA can do to help but I thought I'd pass along the info.
V26B has been used by a number of Frankford Radio Club (FRC) members for years. I hope they can rebuild.
 
73,
 
Al, N3EA

Some very tragic news:  fire destroyed the highly competitive V26B contest station in Antigua on Sunday, November 18. 
Information from FRC members Sam WT3Q and Dale N3BNA who just operated at the station on behalf of the club during the recent CQ WW SSB,  is that the station location, all the radio equipment and the various award plaques from previous contest wins are all destroyed.  The antennas remained intact.
Those involved with the station have vowed to rebuild.   They will need considerable help.  Donations and equipment will be greatly appreciated.

Sam WT3Q has offered to be the FRC Point of Contact for the rebuilding effort.  He can be reached at wt3q at comcast.net
Keith W3KB
President, FRC
