This issue is dedicated to Jim Hire, W8ZET, -- (1929-2002)
************************************************************************
SPECIAL NOTE FROM THE EDITOR AND NODXA CLUB PRESIDENT -- Tedd, KB8NW:
It is with great sorrow to report that the members of the Northern Ohio
DX Association have lost a dear friend and member. Jim Hire, W8ZET, became
a "Silent Key" early Thurday morning due to some complications after an
operation on Monday. Jim, a club member since the late 1970's, really
enjoyed promoting NODXA and DXing. Through DXing, Jim has made many friends
that cover a wide range -- from all over Ohio and many foreign DXers in
Europe. Jim worked 370 DXCC entities. Many DXers/Contesters have probably
met Jim at the Dayton HamVention. For over the last six years, Jim has
invited, hosted and provided a hospitality suite for NODXA at the Dayton
HamVention. During this yearly gathering of DXers, Jim enjoyed meeting all
his friends from all over the world. Through his wonderful hospitality,
world-wide friendship and club promotions, NODXA gave Jim (and his wife)
a honorary "NODXA Lifetime Membership". For me, Jim's sparkling smile and
presence at club meetings and seeing his joy at the hospitality suite will
be dearly missed. On behalf of NODXA, I would like to send out the club's
deepest sympathy to his wife, family and many friends. Please visit the
"Dayton 2000 Gallery" Web page to see a picture of Jim (and me) at:

IOTA CONTEST 2002 (1200z July 27th to 1200z July 28th). Don Field, G3XTT,
IOTA Contest Manager, reports: "Just a little over a couple of weeks now
until this year's IOTA Contest. And, judging by the announcemenents in
the bulletins and on the reflectors, there will be a huge ammount of island
activity; plenty of multipliers for the serious contesters, plenty of IOTA
counters for the IOTA enthusiasts. It looks like the best IOTA Contest
yet! Most of you will have seen the write-up and results from last year
(if not, they are, of course, on the RSGB HF Committee Web page -
http://www.rsgbhfcc.org ). The main rule changes this year are in the rules
regarding island DXpeditions, the introduction of a World multi-op category
(previously, only island stations could participate multi-op) and the
introduction of a 100-watt option for all entrants. When you submit your
logs, do please ensure that the cover sheet makes clear which section and
category you are entering (especially, make clear whether 12- or 24-hour,
whether 100-watt or high-power and whether CW, SSB or multimode. Otherwise
you will automatically be classified as 24-hour and/or multimode and/or
high-power). Advice on how to configure the most popular logging programs
for use in the contest has been posted on the Contests Committee Web page
(see above). There were particular problems last year with entrants who
had used CT. Under some configurations, the .LOG file did not contain the
received serial number (whereas the .ALL file did). Please check that your
log contains all the necessary information. Electronic logs are preferred,
ideally to the new address of < [email protected] >. Even if you only
make a few QSOs, please send a log - all logs are entered in the master
database for checking purposes. We hope to improve the collection of logs
this year, and I am especially grateful to Trey N5KO for working with us
on this, as he has previously done for both CQ and ARRL....."

Use the VOICE or FAX answering machine at 440-237-8208 which shares the
same phone line as BARF-80 BBS using a data/fax/phone switch. To access:
1) Dial Number. 2) Wait for first ring (the second ring should be a false
ring from the fax/data switch box) and then dial four quick ones ("1111").
(NOTE: Some FAX machines that send single "BEEPS" every second will not
have to do this step.) 3) The phone will pick up and after the "BEEP"
leave your voice message or FAX.
