We've been fortunate in the Central Division. Former VUAC member W9XA is an
active VHF weak-signal op and VHF contester. I work him fairly often and
I've visited his impressive station. When he got promoted to Vice-Director
for the Central Division, W9GKA took over the VUAC spot. Kevin is also a
very active VHF weak-signal op and contester.
