ITEMS OF INTEREST

3. GLOBAL AMATEUR RADIO EMERGENCY CONFERENCE CANCELLED

The ARRL reports that the sponsors of the 2015 Global Amateur Radio
Emergency Conference
or GAREC 2015 have announced that the event has been cancelled due to a
lack of interest.
GAREC 2015 registrations were too few, and the decision was largely
financial.
GAREC was set to mark its 10th anniversary this June in Tampere, Finland,
where the first GAREC was held.

4. Is your Icom radio genuine?

The "3D GENUINE Icom label" is attached to the models listed below.
If the label is not attached to the radio when you purchased it, the
radio is probably
counterfeit. The labels have been attached to radios manufactured after
October, 2013.

The labels are attached to: IC-V80, IC-U80/L, IC-V82, IC-V88/U88,
