Thanks for the excellent and informative post, Jay.

One minor point of clarification is we do NOT use any of your ADXA annual dues to support our annual conference. That is supported 100% by the conference registration fee and private donations from ADXA members specifically for the conference.

Your ADXA annual dues are used 100% to support and enhance your pursuit of DX. This includes funding DXpeditions and other activities like DX related “Youth on the Air” camps, Don Jones (K6ZO/7Q6M) foundation that has produced many hams in Malawi that have given you a “new one” as well as supporting the medical mission in Embangweni, and many other activities. ADXA also contributes annually to Club Log to support the significant level of use of this service by ADXA members.

Jay noted you will see the ADXA logo on many DXpeditions websites as a financial supporter. I love seeing this and proud of ADXA!

GL luck to all who need VK9L and also R1F – GET IN THERE !!!!

Subject: [ADXA] VK9L Lord Howe donation

HI ADXA,

The ADXA board recently reviewed a donation request for VK9L Lord Howe and it was approved.  It was a modest amount of $100.  

Several of our members need that one as ATNO, not to mention band/mode counters.  Even though it was just outside ClubLogs most wanted of top 50.  There were enough ADXA members needing VK9L in our "Most Wanted List" to approve that request. 

This is one of those reasons to keep your ADXA Most Wanted List up to date.  If you haven't done this, go to the ADXA web site at:  https://www.adxa.org/ and directions are right near the top on the lefthand side.  This really helps the ADXA board determine what to fund.  

We not only go by the Clublog and ADXA Most Wanted List, but we consider good DXExpeditions with good track records.  

Besides the ADXA Annual Conference, your dues contribute to many DXExpeditions requests.   You will usually see the ADXA logo on most of these expedition web sites.  

Thank you all for being in the ADXA! 

I also want to thank the ADXA officers and BOD!
