ATTRIBUTION UNVERIFIED 2026-10-09: this record credits "Valparaiso Technical Institute engineers", but VTI closed in 1991 and the LPCARC site states the club hosts exactly three repeaters (K9JSI 146.610 plus the two W9LY machines). W9SAL is not mentioned on the club site. Sponsor linkage to LPCARC and the site location both need confirmation.
