CLUB STATION, W8MB, operated by members of the Oak Park ARC, was worth 5 points per contact, as stated in rules in the Amateur Radio Magazines. It was a very close race in Ontario this year, that both these gentlemen (VE3DAP es VE3CDK) deserve trophies. The contest committee expresses there appreciation to all that participated and send in logs. Your comments were also very helpful. We shall look forward to seeing all of you again next year - 73s, Mark-K8ED
