Glen,

I was surprised to learn today that a number of EIDXAers did not know that 
the picnic is a week from tomorrow, August 11th.  If there has been an 
announcement they had not seen it.  Could you firm up the details?  I know 
it is at NR0X's and they usually start at 3 or 4 PM, not sure of the time. 
Perhaps some details on how to get to Heinz's QTH would help as it would be 
great to get some of the newer members, and all of the old ones, to attend.

Hi All....

It was brought to my attention that there may be some members that were
unaware of the up coming picnic
at NR0X's QTH.  The date is Aug 11th and usual time is around 3-4 PM.  Also,
please check the EIDXA website
for info on the directions.

Brad....

The EIDXA was formed on the mid 70s. W0SR, W0VX, and I were three of the 8 
or 9 charter members.  In fact the first meeting was in my home. I think Jim 
and I can recall some of the early information and a list of the charter 
members.  I will chat with Jim.

More on the picnic........

I checked with Terry and here is the scoop:

 Terry will plan on having some lemonade in a large cooler for anyone to
drink.  Some
quest that are on a diet that precludes the eating of the brats can bring a
meat of their choice and he will attempt to cook it to their satisfaction.

Other info needed:

You'll want to bring a covered dish, utensils and glass, lawn chairs for
seating.

Again Heinz NR0X is located just north of Martelle on highway #1 or south of
Anamosa.
He is on the east side of the road and the antennas come into view easily
giving you time
to slow down to turn in the drive.

I'm sure there will be a few guys mobile so if lost ....give a call on
145.19 down 600 w/ 192.8 tone.

I hope you can all attend the EIDXA Picnic to be held on Saturday afternoon, 
August 11.

Thanks to all of you who stopped by our tables at the CVARC Hamfest Sunday. 
And, a big thanks to those who bought something from the W0EJ collection. 
K0AL and I thought we did fairly well but much remains.

We still have parts, wire, coax, and a number of amateur books including 
ARRL Handbooks, Antenna Handbooks and even an older copy of Low Band DXing. 
I will load up everything that remained except for a few items and bring 
them to the picnic. You can take home anything you like for FREE!

sourced from ARRL:

New E7A-E7Z Prefix for Bosnia and Herzegovina (Aug 8, 2007) -- The ITU has
granted a request from the Ministry of Communications and Transport of 
Bosnia
and Herzegovina (BiH) to replace T9A-T9Z with E7A-E7Z. According to IARU
Secretary David Sumner, K1ZZ, "While it probably will take some time for 
the
BiH administration to implement this change, it should put to an end the 
use
of call signs outside the ITU-allocated call sign block by stations in 
parts
of BiH." The new prefix will be implemented "probably later this year,"
Sumner said.
