Invitation to Cuba
 
The Cuban Amateur Radio community has invited American amateurs to
participate in a joint operation with Cuban amateurs in the 1994
ARRL June VHF QSO Party.
 
ARRL Oklahoma Section Manager Joe Lynch, N6CL, was invited to lead
the group, during a visit to Cuba the week of February 7.  The
operation would take place from Bellomonte.  Officials of the
Federacion Radioaficionados de Cuba (FRC) said they also have taken
under consideration a proposal from an American group for a joint
operation from Cuba on the HF bands in 1995.
 
Lynch, in Cuba for a week as a member of a Methodist Church work
team, extended greetings from ARRL officials, presented FRC
President Ing. Pedro Rodriguez, CO2RP, with a certificate of
participation for the June 1993 ARRL VHF QSO Party, and also
presented an author's certificate to Arne Coro, CO2KK, for his
article in December 1993 QST.
 
Lynch's informal meetings with FRC officials were publicized on
radio, television, and in the print media.
 
Joe Lynch is VHF editor of CQ Magazine and also is editor of the
QCWA Journal.
