Jerry - WW0E has indicated that he needs to step down as Vice President & Newsletter Editor at the end of this year after serving many years in this capacity. We all owe Jerry a tremendous round of applause for the excellent work he has done as VP, news letter editor and his ability to scrounge door prizes for our club meetings and picnic. If you would like to be VP and / or News Letter Editor please let me know and I'll get you on the ballet. Remember, Jerry is just an email or phone call away to provide all of the support the new VP / editor will need. Rich - W3ACO has also been serving as Secretary / Treasurer for 8 years and desires to relinquish the reins to the checkbook to someone else. Likewise, we owe Rich a big round of applause for his many years of outstanding service in this vitally important position. If you would like to serve as Secretary / Treasurer please let me know. Rich is also just an email and phone call away and I'm sure will help in the transition as much as possible. I've agreed to serve as club President for a second year; however, if anyone else would like to try their hand at this position please let me know. It certainly won't hurt my feelings!! So, please let me know as soon as possible if you are interested in helping our club continue to move forward by serving in either of these positions. They really don't require an inordinate amount of time and are actually a lot of fun. As I quickly learned when taking over the President position, no one is going to bite your head off and there are a lot of people willing to help in any way they can. This is a very good group of hams!

I purchased the IC-765 new and has been in my (non smoking) shack since I bought it. The CI-V adapter is a communication interface which allows the radio to be controlled from a computer with an RS232 serial Com port. I have used it for years with my N1MM contest logging program. I am told it also works with other logging programs. The radio is mint condition, however I have to disclose two minor issues. First, the internal 110 VAC power supply has failed. I purchased a 12 VDC power cable with an internal connector, and have been using the radio with an external 12 volt supply. That has worked just fine. Second, the USB injection oscillator is a slightly off frequency. There is a ceramic trimmer capacitor adjustment inside the radio to tweak it back on. I will sell both the IC-765 and the CI-V adapter for $375. A photo will be posted soon on the EIDXA website. If you have an interest, shoot me an email or give me a call.

The address is 7734 Highway 1 which is just north of the greater Martelle metropolis. The eyeball QSOs usually start around 3 - 3:30 with the brats coming off the grill around 5 - 5:30. Please bring a hot dish, salad, desert or any tasty dish you'd like to share with the group. Also, please bring your own chairs, table service and beverages. The long range weather forecast calls for a 60% chance of PM showers for next Saturday. In case we do get inclement weather next Saturday, the rain date for the picnic is October 8 (Iowa University football away game). The last few years we have had beautiful weather for the picnic so hopefully our track record will hold out. Hope to see everyone at the picnic next Saturday! 73, Joe - K8OM From ww0e at q.com Wed Sep 21 10:30:09 2016 From: ww0e at q.com (Jerry Rappel) Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2016 10:30:09 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [EIDXA] EIDXA October newsletter Message-ID: <1874390430.1862111.1474468209813.JavaMail.root@md17.quartz.synacor.com> The October 2016 EIDXA newsletter is here. eidxa.org.

Friday and Sunday don't look too great weather-wise so hopefully the conditions don't skew one way or the other by very many hours and rain us out. Thanks to Rod - K0DAS and Jason - NR0X, several of us have been able to successfully operate 6 meter moon bounce (EME) with a portable / temporary installation in the side yard at the NR0X super station. The plan is to have the EME station on the air between 2 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Saturday. The moon sets around 3:20 p.m. so if you would like to see / experience EME please come out to the picnic a bit earlier and see whats going on. Also, Jerry - WW0E, has once again rounded up some excellent door prizes for our event. Thanks Jerry! Don't forget to bring your own table service, drinks and a hot or cold dish to share with the group. EIDXA will be providing the brats which will be grilled to perfection by our resident grill master Terry - W0AWL. Chow time will be 5 p.m. Hope to see everyone there!

Thanks and 73, Joe - K8OM EIDXA CONTESTING INTERESTS docs.google.com 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!
