[SADXA] New Card Checker in AZ.

[Wes Stewart]

There is one little wrinkle that makes some of this incorrect.  If you use LoTW for some application credits, the $10 surcharge for a second (or third...) annual submission is waived.  From the LoTW website:

"On the DXCC side will there be a discount for
credits submitted through Logbook? The answer in general is yes (in
several ways) but again, remember to think of Logbook and DXCC as
separate entities. To the extent that the DXCC software can accept
data input electronically and reduce DXCC operating expenses, we will
adopt a price schedule that reflects this. For up to 120 cards, there
is currently no per-card charge. From the beginning of LoTW
operation, you will be able to submit an unlimited number of LoTW
credits without incurring the $0.15 per-card charge after 120
credits. That fee will continue to apply only to paper-based credits,
sent direct to HQ or via Card Checkers. In addition, and for a
limited time, you will be able to submit second and subsequent
applications without the $10 surcharge as long as Logbook credits are
included in your application.

OK   Here is the scoop on card checking

1. Ron Cade, W6ZQ is the card checker for Southern AZ.
2. To get cards checked by Ron you need to contact him and arrange for it 
either out and around or at a club meeting if he is going to be there. He 
can be  found at ron.w6zq at gmail.com.
2. He cannot check cards from 160 Meters, or cards from deleted entities.
3. You need to go to the ARRL website and download the form and check the 
instructions on how to fill it out. Find it here:  www.arrl.org/dxcc-forms
4. You need to bring and envelope #10 size for the paperwork. It needs to be 
addressed to the ARRL DXCC desk as outlined in the website. Stamp the 
envelope. Again find details at:  www.arrl.org/dxcc-forms
5. It will cost you for the first submission $12 and if you send in another 
application within a year it will be an additional $22.
6. Ron will forward the envelope when the checking is done.
7. If you have other questions contact Ron, or go to this website: 
http://www.arrl.org/rules#Section_1
8. And finally, if you have cards with alterations, fakes, etc. Don't bring 
them they could get you thrown of the eligibility list for DXCC.
