Message-ID: Hey, just got a call from Glenn! Surprised the heck out of me! I was working in the shack and had left the rig on 10m cw. K5P was in/out...but mostly OUT. At 2052 he got loud enough that I thought that if I got him I would know it was me/my call. So I called and he came back! It as Glenn on the other end. He said that he was not hearing any zero's then I popped out of the noise. So keep listening to see when he pops up again! He's definitely readable now... S .2!

The financial spreadsheet for CY 2015 was shown. The Tom Hise fund balance was also noted. We have $850 still available from this fund for FY 2016. 3. We discussed making donations to several upcoming DX expeditions. The club voted to give $200 to VK0EK. ? will come from the Tom Hise fund. Rich, W3ACO will make the payment. 4. A few up coming DXpeditions were noted as candidates, 3C7GIA, VK9CK and A35T. W3ACO will run their rating against our score sheet and send results to the club via the reflector. K8OM will collect responses in one week and tally the results. 5. The web pages have been updated. The membership list is available on line. Buy and sell tab will be opened soon. Those who want to buy or sell something, contact Craig, K0CF. 6. The audit committee noted there will be no financial audit this year. 7. There was a long discussion about the repeater. The repeater antenna and feed line needs to come down form the Marion Water tower so the water department can do maintenance. Jason, with assistance will take down the equipment. Insurance needs to be purchased prior to this effort. 8. The club approved purchase of an insurance policy from ARRL to cover club liability. Cost is $200. This policy will cover the repeater work as well as other club activities. K8OM will follow up. 9. CVARC and the Collins Radio club will be invited to attend our April 2016 meeting.

Joe, K8OM, presented a candidate list of future programs. He solicited comment from the club and narrowed down the list. 14. RE our vice president, Jerry, WW0E. K8OM received a note from Jerry who indicated his poor health and may be unable to continue publishing the newsletter. The club needs to find a candidate to fill Jerry's shoes.

One logo has the ?Eastern Iowa DX Association? lettering that circles the world map in black letters (thus making the entire club logo black) and the other uses red lettering with a black world map. Both have been used as our club logo on different DXpedition websites under ?sponsors?. The newsletter uses the logo with red lettering while our web site currently uses the one with black lettering. I?m not sure which one is used on club apparel, possibly both. As suggested by one of our club members, maybe it?s time we have just one official club logo.

Many times we need B/W for non-conforming applications. Other times we desire color. When printing jackets, etc. it is likely that color will be used. The original logos were black and white with a red star on Iowa. We also had blue. But most common for silk screening is a single color of either black or red on the shirt's background. Recommend we keep both.

The original EIXA QSL cards were printed at a big local operation where I had some very good connections. Originally the logo was single color so it could be printed on our QSL cards in blue along with the standard report form, PSE QSL TNX, and the ARRL logo. The basic card was the same for everybody and printed in bulk by the thousands. Individual calls and personal info (name, address, county, awards, etc.) were printed with another press run in red. This was done to minimize printing costs for the 2 color card. So that is how it came to be. Remember this was all done in the prehistoric days of camera ready paste up master copies and photo negatives. I sent W0SR the original artwork and negatives shortly after I moved here so if you want to take a trip back in time to see what that looked like talk to Jim. In today's world it would have been done very differently on a computer and in no doubt in full color. Interestingly the Lone Star DX Association logo (www.lsdxa.org) is a much later vintage and is multi-color. It may be time for EIDXA to do a logo upgrade. Hope you guys are staying warm. I miss y'all and the EIDXA camaraderie but was 66 degrees and sunny in Dallas today so I don't exactly miss the Iowa winters.
