[TWIAR] Vern Jackson, WA0RCR leaving TWIAR & Gateway 160 Meter Net

[Greg Williams]

It is with great sadness that we announce that Vern Jackson, WA0RCR, who has
been with TWIAR since the very beginning of TWIAR over 9 years ago, and was
one of our first HF affiliates, is leaving This Week in Amateur Radio due to
personal reasons.

Also the Gateway 160-meter bulletin service on 1860 kHz will also be
discontinued as of next week.

We here at TWIAR want to express our sincerest gratitude to Vern for
everything he has done to help make TWIAR a success over the last 9-plus
years.  We wish him the best of luck and hope to one day see a return to
TWIAR by Vern.

In the interim, Will Rogers, W4WLR will fill in as the host of the contest
calender and special events listings.  However, we are looking for someone
to produce this weekly report for us.

It can be produced weeks in advance using the listings in QST, CQ, and
various other contest and special event journals.

If you are interested please contact Executive Producer George Bowen, W2XBS,
at the following address:

George Bowen, W2XBS
c/o This Week in Amateur Radio
P.O. Box 30
Sand Lake, NY 12153

George can also be reached via telephone at 518-283-3665.
