George, AA7JV, is just back from a recon trip to St. Peter & Paul Rocks for
 the PT?S operation coming up in November. George used an Elecraft KX3 with a
 whip on the recon trip to determine the quietest location for the low band
 receiving antennas: 300 ft away on another island. You can read about it in

Dear Richard,



The Swains Island DXpedition team, lead by Joe Pater, W8GEX, and Craig Thompson, K9CT, would like to thank members of the Eastern Iowa DX Association for their generous donation.  This money will help defray the costs of this trip which is very expensive as the island is privately owned.  We certainly appreciate your Association's assistance, and please be assured that we will spend your money wisely.

                        

The Eastern Iowa DX Association's logo will be featured as a donor on our website at www.nh8s.org.  If you haven't already done so, would you please send a copy of your logo to our webmaster, John Miller, at webaron at gmail.com.





We are excited about this trip, and team members look forward to working Eastern Iowa DX Association members on as many bands as possible from Swains Island.



Please extend our heartfelt thanks to each member of your Association for this donation.   We appreciate your support.



Sincerely,

Margarett

Margarett Blackwell

With all the talk of platforms and remote antenna locations, I hope they
clear the plan with Bill Moore ahead of time! It would be a shame to put
forth the effort only to have it denied by the DXCC Desk.

It'd make sense that they couldn't pre-approve; My understanding is that 
in order for an operation to be approved they have to meet the criteria 
and submit the paperwork.  If they don't have the paperwork in order, it 
doesn't get approved.

I'm sure from some legal standpoint blessing an operation before it 
happened and then later having to back out on that would cause a problem 
in this society of lawyers.

Message-ID: <0051816A87CF4369A5FBF918D33617F1@user3dd2392958>

Last March I worked E3DD on 20 CW.  QRZ.com listed his call and the following address  

Jose Pinto, E3DD
R, Rio Amazonas 45/11
Luiz Anselmo, BA 40270060
Eritrea

Today I got my envelope returned marked ( missent ) & not deliverable.

There was no mention of a QSL manager on QRZ.  I looked in the details on QRZ  and found that PY6AM is listed as
the administrator for the E3DD call sign. I have sent the PY6 the E3DD card with an IRC and 2 $ with
the hopes that he might be the operator that I worked. I  indicated that I needed either the E3DD card 
or to please return by card so I would know he was not the manager.

My question to the group is this.  Has any body worked the E3DD and got a card?

Thanks

This was just forwarded to me.

Tom was a new hire mentor to me.  There were many of us who profited by 
simply being located near Tom.  As we endured some pretty rough 
assignments, Tom made them bearable with his knowledge, experience, 
encouragement, and jokes.  Tom said that knew only so many jokes that he 
had change friends about every 5 years.  I was lucky enough to be near him 
for about 5 years.

Hi All,

Approximately an hour ago, my husband and best friend passed away.
This is a difficult time for me but at least I am comforted that Tom
did not suffer at the end.  And it went quick...something he would
appreciate! 

We had already established a plan where Tom will be cremated and he
definitely did not want a funeral.  However, once the boys arrive, we
will discuss having a memorial lunch (or something similar) in Tom's
honor...this event may not be in the immediate future...we will let
you know the details/date once we arrive at them so you can pass it on
to anyone you know would have an interest.

Hugs to all,
Jan

I applied 94 LoTW credits for submission this morning.  When I checked my LoTW site this afternoon I

found I had a message waiting for me. The message said my submission had been completed. 

The new system seems to be very efficient, and cheaper than the old method.

Having the call I have, I don't have that particular problem; however, I've gotten cards for the wrong call before (variations of my own) and have just forwarded them on at my own expense to the station they were intended for.

Cards for contacts I didn't make via the buro I typically try to follow up with the sender with an email, if I can find it.

As far as Q's made with your call before you had it; I can only assume your call came from an SK (maybe not) and unless you want to notify the sender, there isn't much else you can do.  W0 just files the card with the call; mistakes happen, of course.

I'm with Joe on this one Dave. I would only add that if it was for a qso
for W0IM who is now SK, just pitch them.

I'll bet the new W0IZ got a bunch of Dale's old cards from the buro too. It
happens.

Most of the erroneous one's I get are for NT0V. For those, I forward them
to him at my expense as Joe has also stated.

How can there be gud dx with that?  That's horrible.  I should record the noise at my in-laws QTH.  I thought it was fence charger for a long time, but, I'm convinced it's powerline and i haven't had time to find it.  It's either raining or -10F when we're there..

At least the S-meters on his radios agree pretty well..  No DX in there 
at all...Maybe there is an award for hearing all Nuclear Plants or all

Electric Fence/Lawn Mower!! ----- Humor 




If you have ever used an electric fence or know someone who has one you should read this. 
The language used is a bit salty, but 'he tells it like it is' without cursing. 




We have the standard 6 ft. fence in the backyard, and a few months ago, I heard about burglaries increasing dramatically in the entire city. To make sure this never happened to me, I got an electric fence and ran a single wire along the top of the fence. 


Actually, I got the biggest cattle charger Tractor Supply had, made for 26 miles of fence. I then used an 8 ft. long ground rod, and drove it 7.5 ft. into the ground. The ground rod is the key, with the more you have in the ground, the better the fence works.. 


One day I'm mowing the back yard with my cheapo 6 hp big wheel push mower. The hot wire is broken and laying out in the yard. I knew for a fact that I unplugged the charger. I pushed the mower around the wire and reached down to grab it, to throw it out of the way. 


It seems as though I hadn't remembered to unplug it after all. 


Now I'm standing there, I've got the running lawnmower in my right hand and the 1.7 giga-volt fence wire in the other hand. Keep in mind the charger is about the size of a marine battery and has a picture of an upside down cow on fire on the cover. 


Time stood still. 


The first thing I notice is my pecker trying to climb up the front side of my body. My ears curled downwards and I could feel the lawnmower ignition firing in the backside of my brain. Every time that Briggs & Stratton rolled over, I could feel the spark in my head. I was literally at one with the engine. 


It seems as though the fence charger and the piece of shit lawnmower were fighting over who would control my electrical impulses. 


Science says you cannot crap, pee, and vomit at the same time. I beg to differ. Not only did I do all three at once, but my bowels emptied 3 different times in less than half of a second. It was a Matrix kind of bowel movement, where time is creeping along and you're all leaned back and BAM BAM BAM you just crap your pants 3 times. It seemed like there were minutes in between but in reality it was so close together. It was like exhaust pulses from a big block Chevy turning 8 grand. 


At this point I'm about 30 minutes (maybe 2 seconds) into holding onto the fence wire. My hand is wrapped around the wire palm down so I can't let go. I grew up on a farm so I know all about electric fences. But Dad always had those piece of shit chargers made by International or whoever that were like 9 volts and just kinda tickled. 


This one I could not let go of. The 8 ft. long ground rod is now accepting signals from me through the permadamp Ark-La-Tex river bottom soil. At this point I'm thinking I'm going to have to just man up and take it, until the lawnmower runs out of gas. 


'Damn!,' I think, as I remember I just filled the tank! 


Now the lawnmower is starting to run rough. It has settled into a loping run pattern as if it had some kind of big lawnmower race cam in it. Covered in poop, pee, and with my vomit on my chest, I think 'Oh God please die... Pleeeeaze die'. But nooooo, it settles into the rough lumpy cam idle nicely and remains there, like a big bore roller cam EFI motor waiting for the go command from its owner's right foot. 


So here I am in the middle of July, 104 degrees, 80% humidity, standing in my own backyard, begging God to kill me. God did not take me that day. He left me there covered in my own fluids to writhe in the misery my own stupidity had created. 


I honestly don't know how I got loose from the wire. 


I woke up laying on the ground hours later. The lawnmower was beside me, out of gas. It was later on in the day and I was sunburned. 


There were two large dead grass spots where I had been standing, and then another long skinny dead spot where the wire had laid while I was on the ground still holding on to it. I assume I finally had a seizure and in the resulting thrashing had somehow let go of the wire.. 


Upon waking from my electrically induced sleep I realized a few things: 


1 - Three of the fillings in my teeth have melted. 


2 - I now have cramps in the bottoms of my feet and my right butt cheek (not the left, just the right). 


3 - Poop, pee, and vomit when all mixed together, do not smell as bad as you might think. 


4 - My left eye will not open. 


5 - My right eye will not close. 


6 - The lawnmower runs like a sumbitch now. Seriously! I think our little session cleared out some carbon fouling or something, because it was better than new after that. 


7 - My nuts are still smaller than average yet they are almost a foot long. 


8 - I can turn on the TV in the game room by farting while thinking of the number 4 (still don't understand this!!!). 


That day changed my life. I now have a newfound respect for things. I appreciate the little things more, and now I always triple check to make sure the fence is unplugged before I mow. 


The good news, is that if a burglar does try to come over the fence, I can clearly visualize what my security system will do to him, and THAT gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling all over, which also reminds me to triple check before I mow.

The KD0NEB repeater in Perry, IA, is now sharing 145.19 with the N0DX
repeater. This change happened last night.  Perry, IA is about 25 miles
northwest of Des Moines, using a PL tone of 114.8 hz.  This seems to be a
fairly busy repeater, and I've been hearing them all day.  Is anyone else
Hearing them this morning?

They have been co-ordinated on that frequency for some time and they do 
meet the minimum co-channel spacing (120 miles) per the Iowa Repeater 
Council.  I don't know if they have recently changed configuration but 
it is the tropo time of the year especially in the morning.

Here in LeClaire as well, definitely tropo propagation and nothing to be
concerned with.  Early morning or late at night two meters has been pretty
interesting.  I have several new states and grids just on .52 alone.

I've been getting a few E-mails with questions about the picnic.  I figure

1.       Lawnchair

2.       Potluck dish

3.       If you don't want lemonaid, bring something to drink

4.       If you don't want paper plates and plastic forks, bring dinnerware

Perhaps I missed it, but I could find no information about the picnic on
the website.  Specifically, date, time, and location would be helpful.

Great idea, Jerry!

 

We will have paper plates and plastic silverware, but many like to bring
something more sturdy.

I added a page on the site, including an interactive map that I just figured
out how to do.  Hope it works for everyone.

I concur with Tom/ZRL.  I just uploaded 200 Q's from August up onto LOTW.
Within 2 minutes they were up and I had some QSL's for QSO's only 4 hours
prior! It also gave me my last 3 QSL's I needed on 12m for a LOTW
DXCC...with all three final QSL's from QSO's TODAY. Amazing.

The stinger is that if I want the DXCC certs for 30, 17, and 12m LOTW DXCC,
that will cost me $96! ouch!
