FYI-

Roger Hunt K7MEX, the Director of the Yuma Hamfest is interested in 
organizing a special event station using the W1AW/7 call sign.

The station will be part of the February 2012 Yuma Ham Fest which will 
be hosting the 2012 ARRL SW Division Convention.

If you plan to go to the Ham Fest and/or Convention ... and want to have 
some fun operating/participating at the special event station, please 
contact Roger directly at the following email address:

rhunt7 at gmail.com <mailto:rhunt7 at gmail.com>

It is not everyday that Arizona is able to throw out the W1AW call 
sign... so jump on this opportunity if you are able.
Roger is in a schedule crunch, thus time is short.  A quick and timely 
reply to Roger is most appreciated.

Feel free to pass this message on to any other Amateur Radio Operator 
and/or Club.

Tnx,
Owen AK7AR

Here is a short URL to a Physics demonstration provided by the
Harvard Natural Sciences Lecture Demonstrations.

It has application to our understanding of RF and other such waves,
and I found it to be very, very interesting.

I guess I do not understand why it takes so long to process all that 
digital data. Maybe they are running a bunch of 486 CPUs to take that 
long. I don't get it.

Each of the 200K+ Q's needs to be checked against 388.597 Million Q's.
That's 77.7 Trillion (10*12) transactions. Then each matching transaction
has to update an individual file, in sequence.

Subject: Malpelo 2012 DXpedition update !
To: kr7rk at arrl.net


Dear Members of the Southern Arizona DX Assn,

I wrote to you some 90 days ago about the upcoming DXpedition to Malpelo.
With only about 30 days to go, I felt it was time for an update as some
things have changed since asking for your support earlier.  It has become
apparent that there will not be another DXpedition authorized for Malpelo in
the foreseeable future.  So, we have decided to go all out!  The team has
been expanded to 20 members representing six countries.  Many are
experienced DXpeditioners with credentials including VK0IR, A52A, FO0AAA,
K5K, 3Y0X, K5D and many others.  Additionally we have decided to increase
the number of stations from 6-7 to 10.  Most significantly, we now have the
option to stay for as long as 17 days, if funding is available.

The dates are pretty firm.  We expect to arrive on the island on Jan. 21,
2012 and begin operations immediately.  Four members of the team will travel
to the island in late December and have the mission to erect the operating
sites, infrastructure to support twenty people for 17 days, and erect all
the antennas and stations.  This is a huge sacrifice on their part as they
will be on the island until our departure on Feb. 7 th. It is likely they
will be QRV prior to the main team arriving.  SEE: www.hk0na.com  for a
complete list of operators.

The team will be QRV on 160m-6m, CW, SSB, and Digital modes.  Elecraft will
be supplying the team with eleven K3 transceivers and five new KPA 500
amplifiers.  Alpha will supply three of their High Power 8410's amplifiers
for use on the low bands and DX Engineering will supply many of the antennas
to be used. We plan to have two operating sites and as many as ten stations
QRV on open bands/modes. One of the operating sites will be placed near the
summit of the island with antennas to cover the areas of the world that have
been blocked on previous DXpeditions. Our antennas will be strategically
deployed to maximize our signal and to ensure DXers worldwide will have an
opportunity to work us.

With the addition of more days, more operators, more radios and more power
our costs have escalated accordingly. The operating team is providing 58%
($110,000+) of the total cost anticipated.  The team is hopeful that the DX
community-at-large will contribute the remainder of the needed funds.  This
includes contributions from DX foundations, DX clubs, corporate sponsors and
individual DXers.

So, please consider a generous contribution to this project. Everyone who
supports the DXpedition will be listed and properly thanked on our website.
Larger contributors will have their logo displayed on the website and QSL
card, along with the call signs of large individual contributors.
We encourage you to visit the Malpelo 2012 DXpedition website
(www.hk0na.com) and donate via the PayPal link. It's free and easy. You can
contribute with a major credit card, AND you don't even have to have a
PayPal account to do it! If that is not convenient, you may print the
contribution from provided on our website and mail a check or money order.

If you choose to use the mail, be sure all checks are made payable to: Bob
Allphin/Malpelo. And, remember to indicate on the "for" line: "Malpelo
Island 2012".

Please mail all contributions to:
Bob Allphin, K4UEE

Thanks in advance for your support.

Has the Club considered a donation to this effort ? I'll bet it's
needed by us all on some
band or mode.

I last worked it 11 years ago and still have a few holes to fill.

Subject: [The Daily DX] ARRL Diamond DXCC Challenge
To: "Bernie McClenny, W3UR" <bernie at dailydx.com>



The following is from the ARRL Website: ?Looks like a lot of fun for DXers!

2012 is the 75th anniversary of the ARRL?s DXCC Award. The world?s
preeminent DXing award continues to be DXCC, so reaching the ?Diamond
milestone? is an event that we all want to celebrate. Going back to
the roots of the award, and specifically reading the 1937 DXCC List
(January, 1937 QST pages 52-3) to learn what countries were counted at
the onset led us to create the Diamond DXCC Challenge.

The country list we will use for the Diamond DXCC Challenge is based
upon the list of 231 places shown in 1937. We tried to find
corresponding entities today that would represent the places listed in
1937, but there are four places (Baluchistan, British Cameroons, Canal
Zone, Hejas) which were on the oldest list that just don?t exist today
in a form that could even loosely be represented by someplace current.
The Diamond DXCC List represents 227 of the 233 1937 ?countries.? The
list is fascinating and leads us to learn more about world history and
how geopolitics has changed leading up to today.

As you ?check-off? these entities during the course of 2012 working DX
(which is an achievement even today) using spotting networks,
pan-adapters, 200 watt rigs, and stacked tribanders, imagine how DXing
was different in the early years of radio and DXCC! Working Tibet or
Aldabra with 50 watts and crystal-controlled transmitters to simple
wire antennas, had to be a thrill like no other in that time for ham
radio operators.

We anticipate that this award will be very popular thanks to the
unique nature of the entities which we will try to put-into the log in
2012. Not only are there traditional DXCC entities, but there are
cities, Islands on the Air (IOTA by RSGB) island groups, and various
sub-political entities inside DXCC entities, such as the Indian State
of Goa and many States in Malaysia and islands in Indonesia. There are
even three individual ?countries? that make up today?s Yemen (7O --
Yemen, Socotra Islands and the City of Aden)! Yes, we would like to
have even one of them on the air. An interesting factoid about this
1937 list came via the late Jim Maxwell, W6CF. Jim said the only
entity from the 1937 list to be removed without a single QSO being
made was Wrangel Island.

For some entities that today consist of multiple countries, you may
work any of today?s entities to qualify for that single, 1937 country.
For example, French Equatorial Africa will be considered worked if you
log a station in TL, TN, TR or TT in 2012. The Diamond DXCC country
tables show the current entity names and prefixes that qualify for the
1937 countries.

The Diamond DXCC Challenge is an ?Honor Award? and will not require
acquisition or inspection of QSLs or proof of confirmation, although
it still will be fun and useful to seek out cards or LoTW
confirmations. We will provide forms online to use at your operating
position to track what you have worked and forms for applying for
awards and endorsements. As the year goes on, we will also provide
hints and tips about what is happening with the Diamond DXCC Award and
for instance, who might be on the air from Goa or Gdansk!

The Diamond DXCC certificate will be available for working 100 of the
226 entities, and will be endorsable at 5 levels: 125, 150, 175, 200
and 225. If anyone works all 226, there will be a special award for
that remarkable achievement! We hope to publish award recipients? call
signs online during the year, and identify high numbers.

There will be a Diamond DXCC Challenge Honor Roll. The Honor Roll
level will be determined by the leader in worked entities submitted to
HQ, and the bottom of the Honor Roll will be 9 entities less than that
of the leader. Example: If W1AW has worked 165 entities, the bottom of
the Honor Roll will be 156 entities. In February, 2013, HQ will issue
a final Honor Roll tally with overall leaders.

See the Diamond DXCC web page for more information and to read updates
during 2012.

I will have an Alpha 9500 available after the new year sometime 
depending on when rfConcespts gets done checking it out. It will have 
their 90 day warranty with performance numbers and the shipping box. 
Original manuals are also with it. This unit looks mint and when 
rfConcepts gets done with it it should operate the same.

I will deliver within 200 miles of Tucson or perhaps more depending on 
arrangements.

If interested drop me an email and we can talk about details.

I also have an Alpha 87A available.

I'll work on this. Its like the ARRL Golden Jubilee from 1987, no QSLs work 100 and get a certificate from a log submittal plus $$$$$.
It was a lot of fun trying to work 100 countries before the first week of January was over.
I'll get busy on this tomorrow in between football games and turkey feast.

73, Happy New Year to all SADXA members

Jerry,

I just got back from Texas and am trying to catch-up on the e-mails.
After all the $ I have been spending on antennas lately, I  have some doubts
that I can afford this amp, but I am interested in learning more.
