[ADXA] ADXA Member Input Requested

[w5znjoel at gmail.com]

ADXA Folks,

 

Couple of things the ADXA board needs your input on:

 

1.	For 2025, what programs would you like to have for our quarterly
meetings?? I can always think up a lot of "stuff" but it may not be what you
are interested in. Please give us some ideas.

 

2.	We need your input on DXpedition sponsorship. Our current policy is
we will consider funding DXpeditions that rank in the top 50 most needed
entities. If we receive a request outside the top 50, they will be reviewed
on a case by case basis. Obviously, we must have a policy and cannot provide
funding to every DXpedition, otherwise Glenn would have an easy job as
Treasurer reporting our bank balance as ZERO! The DXpeditions we provide
funding to must support you, the ADXA member. Just because an entity is a
highly needed location on Club Log's Most Needed list doesn't mean the ADXA
folks need it. The purpose of our ADXA Most Needed list we maintain on our
website (THANKS N5LKE !!!) is to be able to identify the needs of ADXA
members. And, by the way, the end of the year will be here soon so please
update your needed list. Many of you have been knocking off some good
numbers as of late.

 

The catalyst for seeking your input on our policy is now that DXpeditions
are finally back in full swing post Covid, we currently have requests from
four DXpeditions that rank # 100, 128, 153, and 156 on the ADXA most needed
list. With the exception of #100, which could be a very, very small
donation, my position is to not support the other three. That is my
position, and may not be shared by the other board members or you. I want to
emphasize again that we want to support your DXCC and DXCC Challenge efforts
but we simply won't be able to provide funding for each and every request we
receive.

 

Thanks es 73,

 

Joel W5ZN

ADXA President
