In “Hands-On Radio” [Jan 2009, pp 76- 77], the value shown for return loss in all tables should be shown as a positive value. In addition, the correct values for Table 3 are as follows:

Table 3
PREFL/PFWD Versus SWR

In Figure 1 of “The Universal Keying Module” [Nov 2008, p 43], Q1 should be shown as a PNP transistor type 2N4403.

In the 2008 June VHF Contest Results [Dec 2008, p 84] a line of text was omitted that highlighted N6NB’s winning score in the Rover category. We apologize for the omission.

In the announcement for the 2009 ARRL DX Contest [Dec 2008, p 85] it is reported that US and Canadian stations exchange a signal report and their ARRL/RAC Section. In fact, US and Canadian stations exchange a signal report and their State or Province.
