Excerpts from the "ANARC Newsletter" plus club addresses & dues.
Distributed by the Association of North American Radio Clubs
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Founded in 1964, ANARC's goals are to promote closer ties
among radio clubs; to promote the interchange of information
and ideas among member clubs; to work for the common good of
listeners; and to provide a medium to speak out for radio
clubs and listeners in North America. All the clubs forming
ANARC are responsible volunteer organizations. No license is
needed for the activities our clubs pursue.

out John Combs: he's giving up the "Eastern TV DX" column. If
interested in replacing, contact the "VHF-UHF Digest," Box 514, Buffalo,
