WORLD OF DX
In the world of DX, the Frontenac Amateur Radio Club is celebrating the
50th anniversary of the founding of the Canadian Amateur Radio
Federation. The Federation was Canada's first successful national
amateur radio society. In 1993, it joined with the Canadian Radio Relay
League, and formed Radio Amateurs of Canada. Listen for them operating
as XM3CARF through the 3rd of July.
Now through the 23rd of June, you can work J48GEO from the GeoPark on
Lesvos Island, where members of the Radio Amateur Union of North Aegean
SZ8LSV are set up. They are on 160 through 10 meters using CW, SSB, and
Digital modes. QSL via SZ8LSV, direct or LoTW.
Meanwhile, don't forget Brian, WB6RQN, is on his Aeronautical Mobile
flight around the world, operating on HF as he goes - see
projectameliaearhart.org for details, including real-time tracking.

KICKER: BILL PASTERNAK WA6ITF SK AND HIS YHOTY LEGACY
STEPHEN/ANCHOR: Finally, we mark a bittersweet anniversary this week.
On June 11, 2015, Amateur Radio Newsline lost its co-creator when Bill
Pasternak, WA6ITF, became a Silent Key. Beloved among his many friends,
he helped take Amateur Radio Newsline to the global status it enjoys
today. To say he is missed is an understatement, but with every newscast,
we still feel - and benefit from - his talents and his contributions.
A big part of Bill's legacy is our Young Ham of the Yeard award, which
he created in 1986, and which now bears his name. We'd like to think
Bill would be especially proud to learn that our 2016 award recipient,
Skyler Fennell KD0WHB, of Denver Colorado, has just added another
accomplishment to his already stellar amateur radio resume. The ARRL
Foundation has just awarded Skyler a $2,500 Victor Poor W5SMM Memorial
Scholarship.
Congratulations Skyler -- you have made all of us proud, and you have
honored the spirit of ham radio that was always so precious to Bill.
