[SADXA] 3Y0J Donation

[Darrel]

Does the club make regular donations to the NCDXF, apart from special 
donations to specific DXpeditions?

    One thing I would like us to support, apart from DXpeditions, is the 
NCDXF beacon network.  I listen for at least some of their beacons 
almost every day.  I find them even more useful than the RBN or skimmers 
etc. - although I'm glad we do have all the different options available 
to check on propagation.

     Cheers,

              Darrel, aa7fv.

I met with Mike Casey this afternoon and we discussed direct donation to the DXpedition group so we could get the proper credit.  We had in the past made donation directly to the Cal DX group as they are quite selective about screaming  those who should get funded.  But the Bouvet group are solid DXers and I know they will do a good job and use the funds appropriately.

I expected some and wasn't proposing to railroad this through.  I am a firm believer is supporting deserving expeditions and in fact have made a generous personal donation already.  That said, I think the membership should have final say so and I'm not sure that was achieved at the meeting. Maybe I'm wrong and we are good to go.  If were are FB.

NCDXF has already donated $100K (some of that our prior donation) and I doubt they will up it by our new donation and/or give us mention for it.  Our direct donation would get our logo on the expedition website and gives us deserved recognition.  The downside is it opens us up for requests from future beggars but we can deal with them when the time comes.
