Joel and Kim Harrison are currently in transit to Sydney, Australia, after which they will be heading to Christchurch, New Zealand for the week-long IARU Region 3 Conference that starts at the end of this coming weekend. The remainder of the ARRL delegation are Rod Stafford and me. Rod and I leave tomorrow (Friday) and will attend both the conference and the IARU Administrative Council meeting immediately following. Monday, October 19 is our travel day home (I actually return via Boston on the morning of the 20th and will be back in the office on the 21st). We're told that there will be email access in the conference rooms, but there is a 17-hour time difference between Christchurch and the East Coast of the US so much of our communication will not be in real time. 73, Dave K1ZZ
