NEW IARU MEMBER SOCIETY ---> On 28 May the  IARU member-societies  completed
voting  on  the admission  of  the  "St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla  Amateur Radio
Society"  (SKNAARS)  to  the  International  Amateur  Radio  Union  as   the
representative of the  radio amateurs of the  Federation of  St. Christopher
St. Kitts) and Nevis.  SKNAARS (https://sknaars.weebly.com/) does  not claim
to  represent  Anguilla, which  is  already represented in the IARU  by  the
Anguilla Amateur Radio Society;  the  inclusion of Anguilla  in the name  of
SKNAARS dates  to an earlier time.  With 56 affirmative  votes required  for
admission  there were  62 affirmative votes cast, with no  dissenting votes.
SKNAARS  thus  becomes  a  member of  the IARU and of  IARU  Region 2.  [TNX

VOACAP ONLINE HF PREDICTIONS ---> The  VOACAP Online HF Predictions  service

Coverage Maps. These two previous services will be closed down by  mid-July.

The new service uses VOACAP (Voice of America Coverage Analysis Program)  as
its calculation engine, requiring  the use of a reasonably  new web browser.
For example,  the latest  versions of  Microsoft Internet Explorer,  Mozilla
Firefox, and Google Chrome are known to work.  The earlier versions may  not
be supported. If you encounter problems with the service, please  try  first
to upgrade your browser to the latest version available.
