[TAC] FP/TO

[Kurt Meyers]

Hello:
    I don't know who all the competitors were at TO9A, Martinique, in ARRL DX Competition over the week end, but QSLs go to K3DEJ. One could check with him about the steps for obtaining a special call from the French PTT. Maybe Americans can get one from the French after all. 
    I am sensitive to the argument that a TO call on FP might lead to uncertainty. But it's a more efficient call for a contest that FP/somebody. If ample word were out in advance of the contest, confusion should be minimized. 
    I put in a little time over the week end on low power. More than ever before the "I" in my call got lost going over the pole. Wish I could get W8Q as a permanent call. 73,
