[EIDXA] Iowa Young Amateur Award

[Joe Hetrick]

Hey everyone,


I'm not sure if this came through EIDXA reflector, so I'm forwarding  
it along.

Joey and his father were at the last EIDXA meeting and have submitted  
applications for membership.

I'm waiting to hear for certain about the status of the room at  
Kirkwood, but, I believe the October meeting will be the first Friday  
in November (6th).  Shouldn't conflict with SS-CW, and, I tried to  
work around my own lack of preparedness in getting a meeting notice  
out and CQWW-Phone the 26th.  Sorry for the delay!

Elections will be held for club officers.  Should you be interested in  
a position, let Rick, Tom, or I know!

Programs!  I don't have one yet.  If you've got an idea, let me know.   
I hate to show another video, but, we could certainly do that.  I also  
got to thinking that a round-the room where everyone briefly talks  
about their first DX QSO, or, first meaningful QSO would be a bit  
interesting, but, maybe not!  It seems to much like a campfire game.   
I'm open to suggestions.

I'd also be interested in any member news we could put in the next  
newsletter.  The pre-picnic newsletter was great.  Has anyone done  
anything interesting that they'd like to share?

WL Hamfest was last weekend.  Weather was quite nice.  A bit chilly  
early on, but, no rain, and the sun was out and soon warmed things  
up.  I saw several members there, and, I managed to avoid purchasing  
anything heavy.  Picked up a nice roller inductor and an old  
Handbook.  Saw lots of stuff that I could have taken home with me,  
but, was narrowly able to leave on the table.  Some of it I talked  
other people into buying so that I could avoid buying myself.  It  
worked well.

73,

=======================
  Hello all.

The decision has been made for the award of the 2009 Iowa Young  
Amateur Operator Award.  All three nominations were great and the  
decision was a tough one.  While it would have been good to select all  
of them, it was decided that all will receive some recognition at the  
West Liberty Ham Fest in October.

The winner for this year is KD0HFZ  Joey Freeland of Central City,  
IA.  I would like to ask that the winner actually not find out  
themselves until the hamfest and would like to ask each nominee to try  
to be present at the ham fest in West Liberty as we do have a  
presentation for all of them at that time.

Once again, congratulations to Joey.
