VT Communications now called Babcock

United Kingdom
At the Plenary Meeting, Gary Stanley of VT Communications explained that his company was recently acquired by a company called Babcock in the UK. So VT Communications is now called Babcock, and the company's FMO (Frequency Management Organization) code for the HFCC will be changed from VTC to BAB. They will use VTC through the B10 season, and will begin using the new BAB code as of the A11 season. “It's business as usual for us,” said Gary. “The only difference is that at the next conference we'll be in the front of the room!” (Delegations are seated in the meeting room in alphabetical order.)
