[Don Daze, N5DD]

TDXS April Meeting Announcement

All interested in learning more about DXing or contesting are invited to
attend!

The April TDXS meeting will feature Richard King, K5NA, presenting
"Beginning of TDXS".

Richard King, K5NA (ex. K5PFL) has been an amateur radio operator for 46
years. He was originally licensed in 1958 as a result of his interest in
electronics and joining the Jasper High School Amateur Radio Club. This was
an era when many Jasper High School students were becoming hams. During his
46 years of activity Richard has achieved many honors in DXing and
Contesting. One of his proudest achievements was the founding of the Texas
DX Society.

The Texas DX Society was born from a group of Richard's friends that came
from Houston, Jasper, and Cleveland, TX. This group of friends had a
particular fondness for doing Field Day together and this activity was the
early core of the TDXS. At the meeting of April 8, 2004, Richard will relate
the stories of those early TDXS beginnings and how the club got started.
