VE2XPO on the Air Again 40 Years Later
Forty years ago, in April, 1967, more than 50 million people from five continents visited
the Universal and International Exhibition (Expo 67), the World’s Fair, in Montréal, Québec
Canada. Roland Masse, VE2PX, and the Radio Amateurs of Québec (RAQI) set up and operated
Amateur Radio station VE2XPO from Ste-Hélène Island at the exhibition. Their first contact
was with W1AW. More than 6000 contacts were made during the exhibition. Now, 40 years later,
VE2XPO will be on the air again on all bands from July 13-29 using CW and SSB. It is planned for
the first contact to be W1AW, just as it was 40 years ago. Masse, now 85 years old, and VE2XPO are
looking to contact many US Amateur Radio stations. There will be a special QSL card -- QSL via Jacques
Dubé, VE2QK, 875 St-Severe, Trois Rivieres, Québec G9A 4G4, Canada.
