Al VA3TET’s callsign transferred to ERC

The Elmira Radio Club now has an extra callsign for use on it’s repeaters: VA3TET. Al Macdonald’s family kindly released his callsign, and the Club has now acquired it, sponsored by President Ted VE3TRQ. “Victor Alpha Three Tasty Edible Turnips” will still be heard.
