[HCARC] DX IS! The Best of the West Coast DX Buletin...

[Don Murray via HCARC]

Hello All...
 
"DX IS" was the motto of Hugh Cassidy the Editor of the West  Coast
DX Bulletin.
 
All of the "old timers" will certainly remember Hugh, and now  I just 
became aware of a collection of "The Best" from the  bulletin.
 
So, for you OTs... here is an opportunity to pick up this  collection.
 
For you newbe DXers...  here is a chance to look back  before
computer logging, spotting nets, CW skimmers etc etc  etc...  and see
how DX was chased!!  It was a different world in more  ways than one!!
 
These are NOS, new old stock, from 1980, and when  they are all gone,
there are NO MORE!!
 
They are available from Amazon, URL is shown below.   Mailed from
Texas, so you could have one in your hot little hands this  week!!

I just bought one and it will be available for loan once I  have looked at 
it.

I was Vice-President of the NCDXC at the time that  Cass was President, and 
then took over as the next President in the early  70's.  For those of you 
too young to have known Cass, he was a "piece of  work" !!  Great guy, 
funny, smart, loved Ham Radio and DX almost as much  as his wife - who was a very 
integral part of the Bulletin.  She typed,  addressed and stamped the 
weekly missives.  A wonderful woman, in her own  right.

These were exciting times in the DX World:  Gus Browning,  Lloyd and Iris 
Colvin, Danny Weil, Don Miller - all were either active or had  been.

If you are interested in DX History, a lot of it was made in the  West 
Coast DX Bulletin era - this is the book to buy.

Subject: DX IS! The Best of the West Coast DXC Bulletin  

Back in 1980 after WA6AUD shut down his highly popular West Coast  
DX
Bulletin, my brother, W5DV, and I compiled and published a book,  
entitled
"DX IS!  The Best of the West Coast DX Bulletin".   We 
thought that we had
fulfilled all of the requests for it within just  a few 
months, but we still
get occasional inquiries about its  availability, more 
than 30 years later.

During a recent move, I found a supply of unsold  
copies, still in
new condition.  We have arranged to make these  
available through Amazon at



http://www.amazon.com/The-Best-West-Coast-Bulletin/dp/B002ODDJ0Y/ref=sr_1_1?
ie=UTF8&qid=1408024919&sr=8-1&keywords=DX+IS%21+The+Best+of+the+West+Coast+D
X+




While 
we do not expect a major demand for it after 30  years, we
want interested 
parties to be aware of its  availability.  If you feel that
it is 
appropriate to mention this  in your club communications, there
are probably 
some DXers who would  like to know about it.  We have a very limited supply 
and when these  are gone, that's it.
