This equipment is used to help the “ disorientated” VFR pilot find himself or the FSS and will take some of the load off the radar which is pri­ marily intended for IFR use. Any VFR pilot can call the FSS and ask for a “DF steer” if help is needed. Facilities that now have this service are listed in NOTAMS and we were informed that FSS so equipped will be happy to let you test their DF installation. After the demonstration, our meeting was held over lunch in the terminal. We voted to run our own JUANITA HAL­ STEAD for International Secretary. We feel she is an excellent choice for this office and I shall be “ campaigning” at great length in the future!
