[ADXA] ADXA 3Q 2019 Meeting Report

[Steven Rutledge]

Joel and Kim, thanks so much.  Lucie’s first ever ham event.  She was nervous but found it fascinating.  After Joel’s tour, she took away my credit card and checkbook!

Great to see everyone although most I don’t know well.  Glad I met Rory.  He is going to help me get the C6AFP beacon in FL16 back on air.

Joel, thanks for CMC.

I’ve been associated with several DX groups around the US with seven transfers.  Until ADXA, SEMDXA in Detroit was best.  You guys broke their record!

73,

Steve, N4JQQ

We had a great time hosting the meeting and it was great to see the large group that traveled down from northwest Arkansas and Steve, N4JQQ and his wife Lucy who traveled over from the Memphis area. It was also great to finally meet Cecil, W5HWU, who made the winding trip down from Gassville. There were 37 who signed the ADXA attendance list plus a couple of spouses who didn't, so we were right at the 40 mark for total attendance.

Obviously this is a living document and a work in progress so please continue to support this effort and keep your list updated with J. The primary purpose of this list is to provide a tool for ADXA to better assess the DXCC needs of our members in determining DXPedition funding rather than to rely on a broader scope outside of our specific focus.

It was noted to simply continue to review these for action at our annual meeting. N5ZM noted one was simple and needed changed and moved to take action on it now. This is to remove the requirement of holding a weekly on-the-air net. it was voted unanimously to remove this requirement contained in Article 4(a).
