All,


Dale - WA9ENA will be presenting our club program "Lightning Protection and Station Grounding for Amateur Radio" at the October 14 meeting.


Dale and I are planning on grabbing a bite to eat at the Perkins Restaurant on the South West side of Cedar Rapids (3310 Southgate Ct.) prior to the meeting and everyone is welcome to join us for a VERY informal dutch treat dinner. We plan on meeting at Perkins at 5 p.m.


This is a great opportunity to get to know Dale, if you have never met him, or to renew an old acquaintance from work at Rockwell Collins.


Please let me know (radiojoe_k8om at msn.com) if you plan on joining us so I can give Perkins a heads-up.


Thanks and hope to see you there.


Joe - K8OM

Eastern Iowa DX Association is an amateur radio club with interests centered primarily on DX'ing and Contesting. The previous club survey focused on our members general background, DX operating interests and accomplishments. This current survey focuses on our club members interests and accomplishments operating in amateur radio contests and how they may become more proficient in contests. The results of this survey will help measure our club members interests in future meeting presentations centered around contests. The survey results will be presented at the October 14 EIDXA meeting. Only the aggregate survey results will be presented. The responses of individual members will NOT be shown or discussed. Have fun and thank you for taking part in this club survey!





I will compile the results and present them at the October 14 club meeting.


Thanks and 73,


Joe - K8OM

Jerry,

To sell this old transceiver, a more complete description of its 
condition would help and if it is working or not.  What is the asking 
price ?

They're workable on 80M right now, not a huge pileup, and a mostly polite one too.  They were on 30M yesterday AM about this time, but, work/school prep and all.. by the time I had 5 minutes to call, the pileup was 10X larger there.
