I've looked at the predictions for a few places, and I've looked at some of the VK0EK logs, and there are quite a few things happening that weren't predicted. There's also significant day-to-day variability. Today we had a tough time of it, with bands opening late and closing early." In the end, they have to adapt to the condx they have. The prop charts were developed with the assumption of a SSN of 44. The actual numbers are around 11 or 12. It was not an easy shot to the midwest through Mawson to begin with....now with the low SSN, it's really tough!

I'm handicapped with a vertical (but I do have low noise at the new QTH). They peaked around 12:30-50 and the prop was interesting. They'd be in the mud; then come up long enough to hear them work 1-2 stations and then back. I'd say they were about S5 at times, but more often S2-S3. The rate was low, but they weren't asking for fills, but they were having to call the same station 2-3 times sometimes, so, they're having trouble hearing us, I think (or the keep-calling LIDS are just thick.). GL, hopefully we'll all snag them tomorrow; besure to tell them to lsn for me when you work them. 73, VKN On 01 Apr 17:18, Jim Spencer wrote: > Thanks for all the comments.

On the left edge of the web page near the bottom is a tab About DXA Click on it to get a help page that describes DXA. Note the window example. And the column on the right edge marked Worked I found a call in there that I recognize. In fact I hear it often when I am chasing some DX in a pileup.

Arlo fell and broke his hip Monday and is in the hospital. They performed surgery on him and pinned his hip. He will be moving to Northbrook in the next several days and will probably want to receive visitors then.. So keep Arlo in your thoughts we will be missing him at the next meeting..

Message-ID: Dear EIDXAers, We need help, especially from someone who has been a long time member. Joe, K8OM, is trying to locate the original master artwork for the EIDXA logo. Around 40 years ago at the creation of the EIDXA, Dave Jaksa, W0VX, took the task of getting a logo designed. He located a professional graphic artist who created the design and gave us an artwork. All I know is that they photographed the great circle map from my already old ARRL Antenna Book?back when they were a half inch thick! Initially the art was used for design of our QSL, badge and membership certificate. Over the years jackets, shirts, sweaters and more QSLs were made and who knows what else. The problem now is to find that original artwork. A year ago or so someone said that they had given them to me. I do not recall that nor a lot of other things that happened 40 years ago! I?ve searched all the likely places I do not believe I have it. Please look and see if any of you have that artwork or a hi-res scan of it. There are a number of low-res scan around but Joe is looking for something that is high quality. If you can find anything please let Joe or I know. We will let everyone know the outcome.

The doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. Directions to the meeting location can be found on the EIDXA website (eidxa.org/meetings) We will be forgoing the normal club business at this meeting but each organization will be afforded about 5 minutes to introduce their club and make any pertinent announcements. There will be door prizes and a raffle ($2 donation per ticket) for a Flex radio discount coupon worth up to $300 with 100% of the proceeds going for the support of future DXpeditions. I know we are in for a real treat with Glenn ? W0GJ?s program on the Palmyra Atoll DXpedition! This is one you definitely don?t want to miss. Pass the word and bring a friend to the club meeting. 73 and see ya Friday night, Joe ?

I think most if not all of the kids get their license. We invited them to our meeting tonight and I know a few are planning to attend. If you see a young person in the group, please be sure to say hello... We might spark an interest in contesting or DXing they didn't know they had. Thanks for the help.

Hopefully, everyone had a good time and met some new hams. It was a pleasure seeing so many new faces at the meeting, especially all of the scouts and their leaders that were able to attend. I got a brief moment to talk with a few of the scouts during the break and they are an excellent group of intelligent, enthusiastic, well-rounded young men. I'm sure their parents are very proud of them! I certainly hope they will consider participating in club meetings and other events of any of our local radio clubs. Thank you Charley - KC0CD and Scott - N0GUD for your and your club participation last night. It was a lot of fun seeing members of the 3 local clubs together. Once again, Glenn - W0GJ gave an excellent DX program and also a dog and pony show on the Flex radio. Seemed like everyone wanted to get around the radio and play with the Maestro control unit. Thanks Glenn for your continued support of EIDXA. Speaking of Flex Radios, the club raised $102 from the raffle of the Flex Radio discount certificate. Your generosity will certainly help with our donations to future DXpeditions. Don't forget to put July 19 on your schedule for the next EIDXA meeting. As announced last night, Roger Hoffman - N4RR will be presenting on his recent participation to VP8STI / VP8SGI DXpedition. 73 and thanks, Joe - K8OM President EIDXA -----Original Message----- From: Jim Spencer Sent: Friday, April 22, 2016 11:51 PM To: EIDXA Subject: [EIDXA] Amateur Radio!

We all know sometimes in life you have to take one step back to move two forward. This is the case for last couple posts you came here to read. I have deleted the original text and replaced it with what you are presently reading. The content that was here was based on a poor foundation. And from a poor foundation comes the structure above that is not healthy for you, me, this Ham Radio hobby, future DXpeditions, or the DX community at large. Through a long discussion with another passionate DX?er, N6PSE, we both decided that nothing we?ve Blogged about here or over at Paul?s Blog at N6PSE.Wordpress.com was doing anybody any good, it was not furthering our hobby, nor was it helping anybody in the future get to where the DX community needs them to go ? so we mutually decided to remove all of our text and comments to this point. Thanks for your understanding. Now let?s get back to DXing! See you in the pileups! 73, Wayne N0UN From jlscr at mchsi.com Sat Apr 30 00:43:48 2016 From: jlscr at mchsi.com (Jim Spencer) Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2016 23:43:48 -0500 Subject: [EIDXA] Remember Romeo!
