As almost everyone knows, the OKDXA has had Fall Banquets in the past. 
But, the pandemic prevents one this year. In addition, DX has been 
rather slow because the pandemic has prevented much in the way of 
DXpeditioning. But, keeping in touch with each other remains important, 
so your Officers and Directors have agreed that we should have a virtual 
OKDXA Fall Meeting on November 14th starting at 7 PM CST. Our program 
will be a DX biography prepared by our very own Jeff Martin, K5WE, on 
the great DXpeditioner Erik Sjolund SM0AGD.  Erik put about 50 entities 
on the air over a 25 year period up through 2001. In addition, we're 
asking each of you to to create a small presentation about your station! 
There are lots of ways to do this, but perhaps the best way is an 
auto-advancing PowerPoint of your antennas and station. A video would 
work, too, but the PowerPoint is smaller. These need to be limited to no 
more than 5 min. We could put them on the web site to show the breadth 
of set-ups that can work DX. A few could be featured in the meeting, but 
we won't have time for them all if everyone makes one.

Send the PowerPoint/videos to either me of Randy Wing (N0LD) and we see 
to it that they're put up on our OKDXA site.

Thoughts? Ideas? Comments? Send 'em in!

I'll send more info when we have the Zoom meeting details.

73 & CU in the pileups!
