> Our meeting will start with the 31st presentation of the
> coveted DX HOG award (see http://www.qsl.net/k4fk/awards.htm).  Then we will
> hear about "The Ins and Outs of eQSL.cc."  This lively
> presentation starts with the paper cards of the 1920's and
> 30's
> and shows how much time and money can be saved by using the
> networked
> computer technologies of the 21st Century.  The
> founder, Dave Morris, N5UP
> will show how eQSL.cc has revolutionized awards and
> contests, how it has
> improved the quality of QSL cards, the speed of QSL
> exchanges, and how it is making 100% QSLing possible even
> for big gun contesters. The presentation will introduce
> people who have never heard of the Electronic QSL Card
> Centre, and will answer questions of long-time members.
> Finally we will discuss the bright outlook for growth in the
> future, our collaboration with ham radio organizations
> around the world, and our work to simplify QSLing for
> portables, mobiles, and county hunters.  After the
> presentation, N5UP will answer questions and issue
> Authenticity Guaranteed (AG) status on the spot to anyone
> who brings an FCC license, and will make special deals
> available for membership upgrades. 
> 
> I look forward to seeing each of you on May 4 at FMC.
> 
> And don't forget the SFDXA Mother's Day Picnic at Seminole
> Park, May 8 at 12 noon.
> 
> Finally, if you have not already tried working our club
> repeater K4FK via EchoLink from your computer, iPhone, or
> Android phone from anywhere in the world, give it a try, and
> invite your out-of-town ham friends to do the same.
