=====================================================================================

In the last VoA Radiogram there was also a post with information about 
the history of this ship:
http://www.rhci-online.de/VoA_Radiogram_2014-06-28.htm

All other stories were also radio-relevant:
- ARRL - Field Day 2014
- HAARP
- Italian QRPP beacon



and from me:
- at the end (as usual) a few received Easypal images, this time from a 
radio amateur from Northern Italy
