From rhaendel at q.com Thu Apr 2 07:10:20 2015 From: rhaendel at q.com (Rich Haendel) Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2015 06:10:20 -0500 Subject: [EIDXA] Fw: NCDXF Grant Application--Heard Island Message-ID: <8D2372D2C4C446D19165DFB70D4706B1@dell755> ----- Original Message ----- From: W6OTC To: Robert Schmieder Cc: Robert Schmieder Sent: Sunday, March 29, 2015 6:00 PM Subject: NCDXF Grant Application--Heard Island Dear Bob, I am pleased to inform you that the Northern California DX Foundation has APPROVED a grant of US$ 50,000 toward your planned Heard Island DXpedition pursuant to the terms in the NCDXF grant application, to which you have already agreed, and conditioned upon your execution of an agreement with Heritage Expeditions for the charter of the vessel Akademik Sholkalskiy for your transportation to and from Heard Island, and your payment to Heritage Expeditions of any initial deposit required by that agreement. Please forward to me a copy of the executed agreement and proof of payment to (or a receipt from) Heritage Expeditions. Thereafter, please advise Don, N1DG, when, how and to whom you want the funds to be sent. We can send the funds either using PayPal or by wire transfer to a bank account. We remind you that the DXpedition should prominently display the NCDXF logo on your web site and QSL card, and should insert the Foundation "stuffers" in the return envelope for direct QSLs. Please advise the number of "stuffers" required, and to whom they should be mailed, and I will coordinate the shipping. We will also provide NCDXF T-shirts and a banner for your use in photos at the DXpedition site. I understand that you will provide this information later this year. Regarding the shirts, your group may choose between the original navy NCDXF T-shirt and the new tropical white long-sleeve shirt. You can see both by going to the NCDXF website and clicking on "NCDXF Store" on the left-hand side of the home page. We cannot mix and match, so the shirts must be all navy or all white. Finally, we would normally put the call sign of the DXpedition above the NCDXF logo and the country below the logo. We can do this however you want, so please let me know. When your DXpedition is complete, please provide a written article for our newsletter within 90 days. In addition, please mail to me two sample QSL cards for us to scan for use on our web site and for display at various conventions. If you produce a video from the DXpedition, we request three copies for our lending library. Please remember, per our agreement, that your DXpedition logs must be uploaded to LOTW within 12 months after the DXpedition operation has ended. All requested items should be mailed directly to me at 3701 Sacramento Street, #362, San Francisco, CA 94118. As always, if you have any questions, feel free to contact me by phone or email. Pursuant to the request in the application, the plans for the DXpedition and this grant shall be kept confidential until such time as you publicly disclose your plans. Best wishes for a safe and successful DXpedition. See you in the pileups! 73, Glenn, W6OTC NCDXF Director From t.cellman at mchsi.com Thu Apr 2 19:55:29 2015 From: t.cellman at mchsi.com (t.cellman at mchsi.com) Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2015 19:55:29 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [EIDXA] K1N logs in LoTW In-Reply-To: <18908002.1408638.1428018842876.JavaMail.zimbra@mchsi.com> Message-ID: <14708321.1408807.1428018929375.JavaMail.zimbra@mchsi.com> Check your LoTW for the K1N qsl's de W0AWL From ku0a at mchsi.com Fri Apr 3 17:18:19 2015 From: ku0a at mchsi.com (ku0a at mchsi.com) Date: Fri, 3 Apr 2015 16:18:19 -0500 (CDT) Subject: [EIDXA] K1N on LoTW Message-ID: <1191760735.1420421428095899360.JavaMail.root@dsmdc-mail-mbs5> Has the whole log been uploaded?

We are now doing LOTW uploads for all who request a card via OQRS. We will do LOTW uploads for everyone who used direct mail but not ready until the QSL cards are printed (which is almost done). Will let everyone know on my QRZ page when it starts happening." There you have it! I don't have the answer when ALL of the log will be uploaded to LOTW, but my guess is within a few weeks after the direct cards are caught up....i.e., sooner than later. 73!

Hope they will still support the older Alphas de W0AWL (April 2, 2015) RKR Designs, LLC of Longmont Colorado has announced that they have acquired the assets of Alpha Amplifier and TEN-TEC brands from RF Concepts. RKR plans to expand the product line, while continuing to service their customers that have enjoyed their products over the years. The principals of RKR Designs are Richard Gall, Ken Long and Rich Danielson (Gall and Danielson of QSC Systems, Longmont, Colorado have been a successful contract manufacturer, for over 20 years). Ken Long, N0QO has over 20 years in the electronics and amateur radio industry. Long will be President and CEO of the new company. QSC has been building Alpha amplifiers for over 5 years. They have also been building boards for TEN-TEC since their purchase by RF Concepts last year. Mr. Long said ?QSC has always been a fantastic contract manufacturer, and has the expertise and knowledge that will allow us to bring down costs, while increasing quality and reducing manufacturing times.? When asked for comment, Michael Seedman, AA6DY said ?I can?t think of a more capable group of people to take over the 45 year Alpha Amplifier/TEN-TEC legacy. Ken Long has been involved with the industry for years, and has a great feeling for products and operations. He has the manufacturing and engineering resources available to deliver quality products that our customers demand?. Mr. Seedman went on to say ?Alpha and TEN-TEC have always had a warm spot in my heart, and I am thrilled that RKR Designs will be able to continue the operations of the business. I wish them the best?. Ken, Richard and Rich have been working very close over the past several years and feel that this new relationship will benefit the company and customers moving forward. This closer relationship to the contract manufacturer will allow a more consistent process and delivery of quality products along with significant cost benefits.

Hi Rick, I?d love to get my hands on it. I?ll have it scanned in large format and save the files on the website. What I am trying to do is find or create a vector based image file, that could be scaled up to any size anyone could possibly want it. I could do it myself, simply tracing the logo, but it would take a LOT of time, and I was hoping that such a file had already existed.

Jason, This issue gets raised every few years. In the beginning, it was not electronic artwork it was truly a graphic artist that developed the logo. It was then made photo ready. No .jpg, etc. I have that original artwork! But it is a mailing tube and is 3 foot by 3 foot large!!!! The electronic logos that you have access to are the derivative efforts. To my recollection that are two versions - one with a colored star at the center - the other black and white. I can get the paper artwork to you if that is what you want...

Looks like the overwhelming consensus is to just staple them down. Then the next effort is getting coax to the feedpoint in a permanent manner. I will have about a 200ft run, about 100ft of which is across yard with many mature trees (=roots). I anticipate using direct burial coax of some LM400-like flavor, but this section of yard also occasionally gets aerated. So, I figure I need to bury the coax deep enough to prevent any "coax aeration". Is 6-8 inches enough? Dig the trench with a standard trench shovel? I will likely also have to dig under roots. 73, Steve AK0M From jnmeade at southslope.net Sun Apr 12 20:37:19 2015 From: jnmeade at southslope.net (James Meade) Date: Sun, 12 Apr 2015 19:37:19 -0500 Subject: [EIDXA] Early LoTW question Message-ID: If EIDXA contributes to a DXpedition which offers early LoTW uploads for donors, do all EIDXA members get early notice LoTW uploads, or is the early upload feature an individual or one-by-one activity?

The wrong power supply was plugged into it, making it "not turn on anymore". The asking price is $500 to the transit itself, and power supply. So my brain first jumps to what could be wrong with it. The company says "Well, you'll just have to send it to us and we will have to replace the whole board for you". Which is pretty much the kind of answer I would expect from someone over the phone. So I ask myself..could I fix this thing? What could actually be wrong with it? What would likely be fried on the board?

I build those with a broadband matchbox and add a trap so that they are dual-band (20/15, 30/17, etc.).

Minutes of the January 2015 meeting were read and approved. 3.. The treasurers report was given, the spreadsheet was shown on the overhead projector. 4.. Repeater report, the repeater is working fine. 5.. Web site: Jason will make a login page so members can access limited information for members only. The effort is ongoing. 6.. Jason offered to host the EIDXA web page on his server at no cost. We still will need to pay for registration of the EIDXA.ORG domain. There was a vote to approve this transfer. 7.. W0IYH(SK) has a crank-up tilt over tower for sale. 8.. W0SR asked that those who don't get reflector e-mail, please contact him. 9.. There was a discussion of upcoming DXpeditions. The DX spreadsheet was shown on the overhead projector. After some discussion it was decided that there would be no funding for VK0 at this time as some of the critical items have not been contracted for and the list of operators is not complete. The VK0 expedition mentioned Kergulen as an interim stop to avoid Australian VAT taxes, but most likely there will be no radio operations. 10.. The club approved a donation of $500 to the VP8S South Georgian and South Sandwich Islands. The club also approved a donation of $500 to the Juan de Nova expedition. One half these funds will come from the Tom Hise fund ( $500) and the other half will come from general funds. Rich, W3ACO will make the payments via his Paypal account. 11.. Greg Lind, KC0SKN presented a field day effort in Hiawatha . He expressed a desire to operate 26A. He invited all those who wish to join to bring their own equipment. Generator power will be provided. Bring your own filters ! For details contact NR0X. 12.. After the break, Glenn, W0GJ made an excellent presentation of the Navassa Island DXpedition. Glenn answered many questions during the presentation. It was well received by all. Thanks Glenn for a first class operation and an ATNO for many !
