Subject: [QCWA Hotlist] QCWA Hotlist Reflector - website QCWA going to a new
	server.
Message-ID: <247d670e-522a-023c-5cc4-0216829a02ca@mediacombb.net>

QCWA will be taking all their web pages to a new server.
This will provide a secure environment as we will have a Security 
Certificate installed on the total site.

The window will start at 00:00am Eastern Time on Monday morning , July 
8, 2019.

The home page will be down starting about 06:30 am on Monday
If changing the DNS and adding the Security Certificate goes weill it 
will be ready to go on the new server in 30 minutes or less.

The Members Only webpage will be unavailable from 00:00 am Eastern time and
Hopefully be back up by 8:00 am.

These are rough estimates as we haven't changed servers since 2008 and 
it was a much smaller less complex website then.
We are also going to newer versions of MySql and PHP.

Good Luck to us all.

Good Morning,

The BoD took action earlier this year and we again hold a copy write on 
the QCWA logo.

Please forward this email to your Newsletter Editor, Webmaster of anyone 
else in your chapter that has occasion to use it.

A logo? oldman.png is attached,? it has a ransparent background.? If you 
want a solid white background open it in MS-Paint and save it.
If you misplace this you can copy the logo from the QCWA home page.

A png holds resolution better than most graphics files.? It will expand 
to 3X size and still look ok.

QCWA Bulletin - 2019-014 - Mario Karcich, K2ZD Receives E.T. Krendel Medal

QCWA congratulates QCWA Member Mario Karcich, 
K2ZD #20746 upon receiving the E.T. Krenkel Medal No. 011.

https://www.qcwa.org/k2zd-20746.htm

Karcich was elated to learn of his achievement. 
"I am assuming it is for the 6M ONLY DX-Peditions 
that I have participated in since 1988 and my 6M 
contributions. I am very proud to receive this 
award and to be counted in the group of the 
distinguished Awardees." (See: 
http://krenkelmedal.org/index.php?id=49 for details.)

Ernest Teodorovich Krenkel
(1903 ? 1971)

A world famous Soviet and Russian polar explorer, 
professional radioman and radio amateur-shortwave 
radiocaster (he worked as a radio operator from 
Arctic and Antarctic areas with personal call 
signs PGO, RPX, UPOL, RAEM, RAEM/MM, UA1KED, 
EU2EQ, U3AA, and UA3AA. He was also a radioman on 
the first Soviet drifting ice station North 
Pole-1 and participated in many other Arctic and 
Antarctic expeditions. Hero of the Soviet Union 
with a PhD in Geography, a prominent social 
activist, the first Chairman of the Central Radio 
Club(CRC) USSR, Chairman of the Radiosport 
Federation of the Soviet Union (1959-1971), the 
first Chairman of the All-Union Philately Society 
of the Soviet Union (1966-1971).

E.T. Krenkel is a legendary figure. His name is 
associated with an epoch of short wave 
established in Antarctica. Courage and bravery 
were his consonant companions. He was among the 
?early explorers? of Arctic and Northern Sea 
Routes. Comprehensive knowledge in radio 
technique, passion for shortwave and 
professionalism in radio amateur broadcasting let 
him establish well-functioning radio 
communications in the harsh meteorological 
conditions of the Arctic and Antarctic. Today QSL 
cards written by Krenkel are the most valuable 
among radio amateur collections all around the world.

In the last century when the radio amateur 
movement had come to life, E.T. Krenkel worked as 
a radio operator on the air using a world known 
call sign RAEM, which has gone down in history of Ham Radio.

Karcich joins other notable QCWA Members who have achieved this rare status:

QCWA Bulletin 2019-016 - Steve Szabo, WB4OMM Recognized By City Commission

The Quarter Century Wireless Association congratulates Life Member # 
32402 Steve Szabo, WB4OMM, former ARRL Northern Florida Section 
Manager, was recognized recently by the Daytona Beach city 
commissioners. "City Spotlight"

"Keeping our great community prepared and safe in emergency 
situations, knowledge and experience are vital, but it also takes a 
calm presence and a steady hand." Luckily for the City of Daytona 
Beach, it has Capt. Steve Szabo at the helm when it comes to 
emergency management. Planning year round for emergency incidents - 
whether natural or man-made - is a passion for this professional who 
works out of the Daytona Beach Police Department headquarters. 
Steve's love for emergencies began at 16 years old when he gained 
experience as an amateur radio operator. He started at the police 
department in 1981 and worked his way up into many leadership positions.

During his career he served as the city's night shift incident 
commander for the 1998 Wildfires and worked eight tornadoes and 21 
hurricanes. Most notably he was the city's emergency operations 
center director during hurricanes Charley, Frances and Jeanne in 
2004, Hurricane Wilma in 2005, the Christmas day tornado in 2006, 
Hurricane Matthew in 2016, Hurricane Irma in 2017 and Hurricane 
Dorian. He also actively contributes to the contingency planning for 
special events including seven presidential visits to the city. While 
we can't prevent disasters from happening, we can control how we 
respond to them, and the City of Daytona Beach is proud to have had 
Steve at the helm of emergency management all of these years 
protecting our residents."
