  GM OKDXA DXers,
  About a hundred years ago, before DXclusters, or chat-rooms, even before
the internet, there was a local group of DXers who monitored a 2 meter FM
simplex frequency. They used that frequency for DX alerting and general
chit-chat about DX. I, as a young DXer at the time, learned a lot from the
wisdom of the local old-timers. I kind of miss those days. The web pages,
blogs, clusters, etc. are just not the same...
  A while ago, I pulled my old 2 meter FM radio off the shelf and hooked up
my ringo antenna. I've been monitoring the simplex frequency 147.54 when I
am in the shack. It seems very un-busy. So, if you are in the Tulsa/NE
Oklahoma area and want to chat about DX or anything else, give me a shout.
Hope to hear you on 147.54... 

73,
Jeff - K5WE

I remember this from my years in CO as a Mile High DX Association 
member. We used 146.43, but the vast majority of us were in the Denver 
area and within simplex range. Those that were not, used the OKDXA 
Packet Cluster, which had enough digipeaters to cover both sides of the 
state. Whenever I was on the air, I had my 2 m FM rig set for the local 
node so I could see (mainly local) DX spots. Some of us had two 2 m rigs 
and also monitored 146.43 or would go there if asked.

We don't have anything like that anymore: packet went the way of the 
dodo and so no one operates (or uses) digipeaters anymore. Yet, I've 
often thought that something in the same vein would promote more club 
cohesion. I have no idea what that might be, though, so I'm open to 
suggestions. In the mean time, I'll also monitor 147.54, whenever I'm 
active in the shack.

73 & see you in the pile-ups,

Packet is actually still pretty active, as are digipeaters, they are just
disguised as APRS.

It certainly would! When I was in Bartlesville, there were about a dozen serious/semi serious dxers, and we used a 2 mtr fm frequency for collaboration/coordination and just chatting about radio and dx. Those were heady times. Later, Coy Day, N5OK, set up a repeater for dxers in the Tulsa area, and those of us in B?ville joined them. I always enjoyed the fellowship and fun. Wonder if that can be recreated? I live close enough to the border that I can probably be heard by repeaters in Lawton. I haven?t used 2mtr FM in decades!

I just got a call from Mary and she said that Charley had passed away
Wednesday, July 10th.  She said the Alzheimer's finally got him.

Charley was very active in the OKDXA in the early days and went on several
dxpeditions with us.  He was close to top of the Honor Roll when he started
going down hill. He was also a card sorter for the W5 bureau.  Has lived in
Denton the last few  years.

He was a good friend and will be missed by many.

Sorry to hear about Charlie. I remember him from the early days. I was
probably a kid in high school when I first visited his shack, seems like
around 31st and Sheridan in Tulsa. Years later I visited his place up near
Skiatook. He was an accomplished HF and VHF DXer... RIP Charlie, W0RRY ...

I am going to be at Ham Holiday Friday and Saturday and will have a couple
of DXing related things with me for sale, in case you want to make a deal
on them before they are put out there for the public.  If you can't make
the hamfest I can deliver them to your QTH in the Oklahoma City area as
well.

Here is what I have available:

1. An Icom 7610 HF/6m transceiver. This is Icom's high performance HF/6m
radio that is a direct sampling SDR with a front panel and buttons. It has
2 independent receivers so you can listen to 2 different bands at the same
time. Also has a bandscope/waterfall for each band. It is just an all
around great performing radio. It is in very good physical condition with a
couple of small nicks on one on the top sides.

It comes with a mic, power cord, original double Icom boxes, spiral bound
copy of the manual, Dust Cover and the The Radio Today Guide to the Icom
7610 book from Amazon that tells more about the radio with operating tips.

These sell new for $3020 at HRO. The book is $15, and the dust cover is
$50. I am asking $2300 for it
_________________________________________________________
2. An Array Solutions Bandmaster 5 unit (current production) and an Array
Solutions Bandmaster 3 unit (previous model) which will automatically
switch to the correct bandpass filter based on your rig. Perfect for
foolproof switching or remote operation. You can read about the Bandmaster
5 here: https://www.arraysolutions.com/bandmaster-5 The bandmaster 5 can
also control the sixpak and other Array Solutions switches if you like.
Probably many other uses for them in the ham shack.  I am asking $160 for
the Bandmaster 5 and $125 for the Bandmaster 3.
_______________________________________________________
3.  a Daiwa CN-101L cross needle power/SWR meter. Has SO239 jacks on each
side, and works on 1.8 to 150mhz 160m-2m), up to 1.5KW (1500 watts). It
comes with a power cord so it will read PEP power also, and the original
box. Works nicely, it does have a piece of Velcro on the top and bottom of
the case, but is in good condition otherwise.  Asking $50.

Let me know if you are interested in any of these and we can work out a
deal.

Anybody besides yours truly still thinking of the recently thread discussing regional vhf fm DXing groups around the state? It is still bouncing around in my head. Like many other old timers, I have some very fond memories of that sort of thing from my 30 years in NE Oklahoma. (I am not so far away down here in N. Texas)

Bob,

You are talking about 2 meter dx alert nets, right?  I think they went away
when we had the local packed clusters.  Now we have international packed
clusters.  However, that's not like local nets, where we could report what
WE are hearing right now.  That is much like what Jeff is doing by posting
them on the reflector.  The problem is that I don't monitor the internet
all the time.  Not for e-mail that is.

I like the idea but I would have to dig out my old 2 meter rig.  ;-)

Yes, Coy. 

Starting in the Mid 70s, when I was living in Bartlesville, Gary Gomph, Ken Adams, Ed Gilliland, Larry Watson, and a handful of others (me included) staked out a 2 meter simplex frequency and used it to alert the others to dx heard, spot for each other during pileups, conduct propagation experiments, etc. Admittedly, there was some friendly competition amongst us, but there was also a lot of mutual support and encouragement. No schedules or such?.We just left the 2 meter rig on all the time and made some noise when we were in the shack.  

That went on for at least a decade and outlasted the local packet cluster that we operated concurrently. At some point in there, I remember you started up a repeater down in the Tulsa area and much of the activity switch over to that. To be honest, though, the local simplex nest was much more fun and ultimately more of a factor in the way the local dxers bonded and approached the hobby. All the guys I mentioned, unfortunately, are now silent keys?all but me, very sad.

the possibility of having him host a day-long Contest University on 24 
July and are offering us the opportunity to have the OKDXA name

Please respond as soon as you can as they need our input by Friday. This

That would be a REAL feather in the cap for Ham Holiday, for sure!  I'd bet that the attendance at Ham Holiday 2020 would triple or more!  I have attended three of those at Dayton and they are REALLY special!

Count me in, assuming this is a Thursday thing as it is at Hamvention in Ohio.

YES IN DEED!!!!  Presume we would meet at OCCC.  This would be an outstanding opportunity for OKDXA,
CORA, the Oklahoma Section and West Gulf Division.  Having attended eight CTU's, the level of
interest in the mid-West would be tremendous!!!

It would be hard work, but well worth it!

/////////////// ------------- Reply from K5RKS

I think the idea of a Contest University [or maybe a DX University??] is 
great. I think ham radio benefits when new hams take up a variety of 
activities including both DXing and contesting. I am not a hard core 
contester any more. But back in my Silicon Valley days -- in the 1970s 
to 1990s -- I did win a few plaques in the ARRL RTTY contest. These were 
the days when people were just transitioning to computerized RTTY 
operations. I ran homebrew RTTY software and came in first place in the 
Pacific Division.

It's been brought to my attention that I must make a clarification: this 
proposed event is NOT, in ANY WAY, associated with or part of Contest 
University or CTU (both are trademarked). It is completely independent 
and unassociated with Contest University but instead is a proposed 
informal event with Frank Donovan. So, if this event occurs, you will 
not be at a Contest University or CTU event. I want to make sure that 
this is clear so that none of you feel misled and make certain that this 
is not improperly thought to be otherwise.

If, after this clarification, you are no longer interested in attending 
or helping in such an informal event, feel free to let me know.

73,

I recall a similar set up in the mile High DX Club in Denver. I think 
the problem we face is that we're pretty well scattered over a large 
area. Simplex is wonderful stuff, but the OKDXA members are typically 
too far aport for many of us to hear more than one or tow other members.

we all monitor 147.54 -- I have been and even dropped my call in there a

 Yes, I will re-enlist in OKDXA and plan to attend this event.
I had been trying to get to Albuquerque for the last two years for theirs - I'm excited that Ham Holiday is looking at doing this.

Subject: [OKDXA] Contesting 101 at Ham Holiday 2020
Message-ID: <b7e25a8c-e899-e3f7-0583-df7511d4391a@sbcglobal.net>

So that everyone is perfectly clear on what's been going on: Frank 
Donovan, W3LPL, is being considered as the HH banquet speaker and, as a 
bonus, being asked to consider hosting a Contesting 101 type of session 
to test the waters for interest. If this goes well, the larger idea is 
to create a "Ham Holiday Community College," derived from content 
available within the local community plus some invited experts. Because 
HH is now housed within OCCC, the environment is not only unique but 
ideal. HH attendance has increased rapidly (~700 this time around) and 
HH would like to capitalize on the excellent facilities OCCC offers. 
Other ideas include DMR 101, along with topics from the local "Maker" 
community, such as 3D Printing or Laser Cutting 101. None of this is a 
"done deal," but is being strongly considered pending interest and 
various other details to which I'm not privy. The more interest 
expressed, the more likely these things will happen in some form or another.

So far, I have nine people from OKDXA interested in either attending or 
helping with a Contesting 101 type of event, which is more than I 
expected! Counting me, that's ten. I'll report back to the HH committee 
that OKDXA has at least ten interested in taking part.

I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN ATTENDING AND HELPING IF I AM ABLE TO MAKE IT,,  I NEVER KNOW FROM YEAR TO YEAR WHETHER I CAN MAKE IT ANY PLACE, GETTING TO WHERE I HAVE A LITTLE TROUBLE TRAVELING LONG DISTANCES ANYMORE.
IT WOULD ALL BE VERY INTERESTING, HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY OF THE 3D AND LASER CUTTING STUFF.  HOPE ALL WHO ATTENDED HH THIS YEAR HAD A GREAT TIME. GOOD LUCK DXING.
ALSO, HAS ANYONE RECEIVED THEIR CARDS FROM XX9D YET?
