The SFDXA held an Interesting Meeting last night.
22+ Members and Guests got together early and spent time talking about
DX QSL Cards and some had Dinner too.
Don N4TZH our President was under the weather, and unable to attend the
meeting. Get well quick Don.
The Main Speaker was Norm W4QN, founding Member of the Club in 1974. He
explained all the DX Aids that we DXers have used in the Club from the
Past, all the way to the Present. The Current DX Aid is the use of
Skype. He showed us how it is used, and how to set things up to join the
active Florida DX Groupand work DX with other SFDXA Members. His
presentation will be on the Club Web Site soon. www.SFDXA.com
Kai KE4PT was voted as outstanding article of the year QST 2015. Way to
go Kai! I'm sure I have the exact title wrong but it is an Honor indeed!
Some terrific DX Accomplishments by members announced at this meeting:
John K2SHA has completed 5B DXCC.
Ed N4II has completed DXCC on 160 Meters.
Both are fine accomplishments for any DXer. Congratulations gentlemen!
John Stucka N3JM was voted in as a Full Member. Welcome to the club
John! John gave a very interesting presentation on Lightning at our last
meeting.
West Palm and Stuart Hamfests are coming up in the next few weeks and
then The Dayton Hamvention in May. We hope to see you at one, or all of
them.
Next Meeting is May 4th.
73 and Gud DX,
Bill W2CQ
