Hello INDEXA Members,

The past few weeks have been exciting in INDEXA and there are several 
positive things to report to you.  There has been a lot of positive feedback 
about the changes that were announced in the November newsletter.  The 
economic benefits of these changes will certainly help our organization and 
benefit all members.

Many of you who were receiving paper copies of the newsletter have switched 
to e-mail, so you are now receiving this update in a more timely fashion.  

Today has been an exciting day and a major milestone in INDEXA’s progress.  
The INDEXA web site www.indexa.org was revised and is now on-line with 
several enhancements.  The BIG change that is now available is for current 
members to renew membership on-line via PayPal or a credit card and for new 
members to sign up the same way.  This has been made possible by the hard 
work of INDEXA officers and outside technical support.

Your officers view this enhancement to our organization as a positive way to 
increase membership which directly goes to support the “Most Wanted” 
DXpeditions.  Again, INDEXA is an organization that is dedicated to help 
make DX possible.
 
Even without prior announcements, we have had two new members to sign up and 
make additional donations in the last few hours.  Pretty impressive progress 
in such a short amount of time !!!

The web site is an evergreen document so more changes and improvements are 
already being discussed.

INDEXA has also been actively working with pending DXpeditions and has 
agreed to financially support the following.
 
*  Palestine, E4/OM2DX, in December 2007

*  Guinea-Bissau, J5C, in January 2008

*  Wallis Island, FW0RC, in January 2008

*  Cocos Island, TI9K, in February 2008                                      
                      

*  Ducie Island, VP6DX, in February 2008

*  Clipperton Island, TX5C, in March 2008
 
We hope our financial support to these planned countries will add to your 
DXCC count as a possible new one or give you several new band countries.
 
INDEXA members, thanks for your assistance and continued support.  Again, 
take a look at our revised web site and if the holiday season moves you, try 
a gift to INDEXA via the new electronic method.  It only goes to support 
DXpeditions as shown above.
 
To all our USA members have a Happy Thanksgiving and to all our members 
worldwide, we wish you a very happy holiday season and wonderful DX.
 
Regards,
    Gary Dixon, K4MQG
