Hello All SJDXA members, 
The 160M team is making plans to have a work party on Sunday, April 12 to take down antennas, roll up coax and clean up the radio room for this season.? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. 
We plan to arrive around 9 AM and with enough helping hands should finish by early afternoon.? If the wx forecast for Sunday doesn't look good we'll opt for Saturday instead. Please let me or N2OO know if you can give us some help.

"INDEXA: A GIANT STEP FORWARD"

  

Hello INDEXA Members and Fellow DXers,

  

What a thrilling moment yesterday to open the envelop from the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) and learn that the IRS has approved INDEXA as a 501(c
)(3) organization.  As your INDEXA President I am pleased to share this
announcement with you and how it will benefit both you and INDEXA. 

  

For U.S. tax payers this announcement means that your donations to INDEXA
are now tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.  This applies to all
donations made since September 19, 2014.  As always you should consult with
your financial adviser to determine the impact on your tax position.

  

For INDEXA the new status means that with your increased donations we can
expand the size of our financial grants for qualified DXpeditions to rare DX
entities.  It may mean that when INDEXA can increase its support of a top
100 expedition you may finally make a much sought-after contact!

  

Receiving this IRS Tax-Exempt status has been a goal of INDEXA for many
years.  Our thanks to those who worked so diligently to make this new status
a reality. 

  

Now I hope you will consider a generous contribution to INDEXA to take
advantage of our 501(c )(3) status and the benefit it may mean for you.  I
encourage you to make your tax-deductible donations to INDEXA by credit card
or PayPal through our secure web site server and pressing the Join, Renew,
Donate tab. As always checks can be mailed to the address below:

  

INDEXA

398 Lakeview Shores Loop

Mooresville, NC  28117

  

I hope you share our excitement with the announcement of this big step
forward for INDEXA and that you will take advantage of what it may mean for
your personal tax situation.  With your support as a donor our commitment to
you is to strengthen our grants for viable DXpeditions to those entities
that mean the most to you.

  

Thank you and 73,

Gary Dixon, K4MQG

INDEXA President

Tomorrow (Sunday) will be site cleanup day.  
Yesterday N2HM and I cut the feedlines from tower so no climbing will be required.  Still will need to drop the northeast and roll up then seal coax ends. 
W2CG and KU2C will be down from the cw team. Maybe others? 
W2GD will not be coming. 
I will be there.
Primary jobs will be rolling up beverage coax and the slopers. Cleaning up and stowing inside gear and cables. It might be nice to see what failed on the SW if we have time. 
If we have enough people, we can also cleanup the shed and shack. 
Start time will be 9am. 
All hands on deck.

If you plan to help at the tower or in the woods, bring your boots and appropriate clothes. If you don't have boots good enough for wading through shallow water and muck, there are some at the site that you can use.

All work completed.  Many thanks to the SJDXA members who came out to help.  The shack looks the best it has in years.  Also special thanks to Steve (KI4 something) he jumped in with both feet, helping us out at the transmit antennas and beverage antennas, without him we'd probably still be out there.

For the GD160 Team

Guys: 





So everyone is on the same page, below is a suggested work plan for Sunday.  K2TW, KU2C, W2CG and W2NO from the CW Team plan to attend.





Thanks for your help.  GD









++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

At Marty's request I've  put together this list of work items for Sunday:





SOMEONE - PSE print this out for use as a checklist.  









TASKS to be COMPLETED Sunday:





NOTE:  All coax cables are to be rolled up HAND over HAND.





Everyone should bring hand tools - a knife, wire cutter, pliers, tape, screw drivers, etc.









1.  DONE Someone climbs the tower to detach the RG8X cables where they are affixed at about 80 or 90 feet and taped down along the tower.





2.  DONE  Drop SW sloper FIRST.  Roll up and label pull away rope used at far end.  





3.  Drop delta loop and NE sloper.  Roll up and label rope used at far end.  Also label ropes used at each corner of the delta loop.





LABEL the two hardline connectors (SW and NE)  and weatherproof them with both rubber and vinyl tape.  Secure ends where appropriate.





4.  Install two new screw in anchors for anchoring the ropes on each side of tower.





5.  Roll up and label sloper RG8X feedlines  (be sure they are labeled SW and NE for later examination/repair).





6.  Beverages:  Retrieve all 9:1 transformers.  Tape end of beverage and ground wires.  Roll up each coax run and clearly label which beverage the feedlines belong to.  





NOTE:  Label each cable inside the two gray elevated bulkhead boxes as beverage coax cables are detached to facilitate cabling next fall without having to trace cables.





7.  HI-Z 4 antenna:  Roll up and label  RG6 feedline (I believe it has a splice so this cable it can be split into two pieces).  Roll up CAT 4 control line.

Tomorrow (Sunday) will be site cleanup day.  

Yesterday N2HM and I cut the feedlines from tower so no climbing will be required.  Still will need to drop the northeast and roll up then seal coax ends. 

W2CG and KU2C will be down from the cw team. Maybe others? 

W2GD will not be coming. 

I will be there.

Primary jobs will be rolling up beverage coax and the slopers. Cleaning up and stowing inside gear and cables. It might be nice to see what failed on the SW if we have time. 

If we have enough people, we can also cleanup the shed and shack. 

Start time will be 9am. 

All hands on deck.

Subject: [SJDXA] K1N QSL TEAM
Message-ID: <018901d07b7d$cdacb280$69061780$@comcast.net>

SJDXA members,

The next SJDXA meeting is THIS Wednesday evening at 7:30 PM.

I am planning to go to the site early since I will have a big pile of
?stuff? to bring. Probably around 6PM but I am having some work done to my
truck, so I am not certain yet on the exact time.

I WILL post an update on the SJDXA List.

Our project for Wednesday will be to open mail. About 1 ? trays.

Also, we will be packing up work packs of K1N QSLs for home processing.

 

As of right now, we have 4 teams:

 

Sub-Manager N2OO

Processing managers for N2OO:

W2OB, N4XAT, W2ARP, KZ2I

 

Sub-Manager W2CCW

Processing managers for W2CCW:

WU2E

K2RIY

K2JLW

 

Sub-Manager K2RET

Processing managers for K2RET:

KC4RN

K2SZ

N2OZ

 

Sub-Manager WS2C (ex W2USF)

Processing managers for WS2C:

KI4KWR

KA2NBB

W2RDM

 

If any other SJDXA members would like to be processing managers, let me know
ASAP and we will assign you to a Sub-Manager and divide the load. If anyone
listed above can?t be available, let me know ASAP so we can reassign.
Thanks!

 

Phase 1:

Sub-Managers will have all necessary supplies, including QSL?s, postage,
envelopes, stuffers, return address stamps, etc. Each processing manager
will be given a supply of these items, and if you run out, contact your
sub-manager to re-supply. Processing managers will be given around 3-5 OQRS
direct label batches. Each batch should have about 150 unique callsigns and
associated QSO and address labels (as we have done before). (For DX and USA
addresses)

While the ?processing managers are working on their label batches and QSLs,
the Sub-Managers (N2OO, K2RET, W2CCW and WS2C) will each have a tub of
?direct received mail? to process in DXM (DXM is the name of our server
based logging program). They will carefully do log processing, and print
batches for processing later.

 

Phase 2:

Once all Processing Managers have completed their batches and have
everything ready to mail, they will hold the mail until N2OO or the assigned
Sub-Manager gives the word to ?put them into the mail?. Our goal is to TRY
to mail all at one time the first time we do a mailing (exception is a small
batch going out to some advance donors who gave $100 +.  That KZ2I is
handling now). After these are mailed, then further ?batch? distributions
FROM the Sub-Managers will be made of the direct mail batches, and any
further OQRS direct batches as necessary.

 

Phase 3:

Wrap up as much as we can. By now, we SHOULD be relatively current. Will
assign as necessary.

 

VERY IMPORTANT:

IF FOR ANY REASON YOU CANNOT GET YOUR BATCH DONE IN A TIMELY MANNER, LET
YOUR SUB-MANAGER KNOW ASAP SO WE CAN ALL WORK TOGETHER TO GET YOUR BATCHES
OFF-LOADED TO ANOTHER TEAM MEMBER WHO HAS TIME TO HELP. 

 

Any questions? Drop me an email, or come to the meeting.

 

See ya? in the Pileups!

Bob Schenck, N2OO

Message-ID: <01cf01d07b8f$d90de290$8b29a7b0$@comcast.net>

Revision #1

 

SJDXA members,

The next SJDXA meeting is THIS Wednesday evening at 7:30 PM.

I am planning to go to the site early since I will have a big pile of
?stuff? to bring. Probably around 6PM but I am having some work done to my
truck, so I am not certain yet on the exact time.

I WILL post an update on the SJDXA List.

Our project for Wednesday will be to open mail. About 1 ? trays.

Also, we will be packing up work packs of K1N QSLs for home processing.

 

As of right now, we have 4 teams:

 

Sub-Manager N2OO

Processing managers for N2OO:

W2OB, N4XAT, W2ARP, KZ2I

 

Sub-Manager W2CCW

Processing managers for W2CCW:

WU2E

K2RIY

K2JLW

 

Sub-Manager K2RET

Processing managers for K2RET:

KC4RN

K2SZ

N2OZ

 

Sub-Manager WS2C (ex W2USF)

Processing managers for WS2C:

KI4KWR

KA2NBB

W2RDM

 

Sub-Manager KU9C

Processing manager for KU9C 

KU9C

 

If any other SJDXA members would like to be processing managers, let me know
ASAP and we will assign you to a Sub-Manager and divide the load. If anyone
listed above can?t be available, let me know ASAP so we can reassign.
Thanks!

 

Phase 1:

Sub-Managers will have all necessary supplies, including QSL?s, postage,
envelopes, stuffers, return address stamps, etc. Each processing manager
will be given a supply of these items, and if you run out, contact your
sub-manager to re-supply. Processing managers will be given around 3-5 OQRS
direct label batches. Each batch should have about 150 unique callsigns and
associated QSO and address labels (as we have done before). (For DX and USA
addresses)

While the ?processing managers are working on their label batches and QSLs,
the Sub-Managers (N2OO, K2RET, W2CCW and WS2C) will each have a tub of
?direct received mail? to process in DXM (DXM is the name of our server
based logging program). They will carefully do log processing, and print
batches for processing later.

 

Phase 2:

Once all Processing Managers have completed their batches and have
everything ready to mail, they will hold the mail until N2OO or the assigned
Sub-Manager gives the word to ?put them into the mail?. Our goal is to TRY
to mail all at one time the first time we do a mailing (exception is a small
batch going out to some advance donors who gave $100 +.  That KZ2I is
handling now). After these are mailed, then further ?batch? distributions
FROM the Sub-Managers will be made of the direct mail batches, and any
further OQRS direct batches as necessary.

 

Phase 3:

Wrap up as much as we can. By now, we SHOULD be relatively current. Will
assign as necessary.

 

VERY IMPORTANT:

IF FOR ANY REASON YOU CANNOT GET YOUR BATCH DONE IN A TIMELY MANNER, LET
YOUR SUB-MANAGER KNOW ASAP SO WE CAN ALL WORK TOGETHER TO GET YOUR BATCHES
OFF-LOADED TO ANOTHER TEAM MEMBER WHO HAS TIME TO HELP. 

 

Any questions? Drop me an email, or come to the meeting.

 

 

See ya? in the Pileups!

Subject: [SJDXA] ARRL Affiliation update
Message-ID: <026101d07ba0$3b915b30$b2b41190$@comcast.net>

ALL SJDXA members,

I am updating SJDXA ARRL Affiliation records.

I need to know who is a member, and who is not a member. (Need 51% to
maintain membership. I am sure we have this, but would like to "fill in the
blanks" on the update)

 

Please reply!

Are you an ARRL MEMBER?

 

 

 

This includes family club members?

If family members wish to be ARRL members, but opt out of getting QST, the
membership is $8 per year.

Info here:

http://www.arrl.org/membership-levels

This gives Family members full Access to ARRL membership benefits.

 

 

 

 

See ya' in the Pileups!

We should have done this earlier than this, but I just added Dean N7XG to
our list. Dean is the man responsible for creating DXM, our server based
logging software.

I would like to nominate Dean as a "honorary member" in SJDXA!

Welcome aboard Dean!

Subject: [SJDXA] QSL process
Message-ID: <026301d07d72$0f1e6ba0$2d5b42e0$@comcast.net>

SJDXA QSL team members,

PLEASE! If you are not sure about ANYTHING, feel free to drop me an email,
or a call.

Refer back to my previous emails, or I will repost some.

Right now, the biggest thing to remember as you process QSL cards is to be
careful as you peel and stick labels. Take your time. Line up the labels
carefully. Think about each card as if it were one of your own. Navassa
cards will be cherished forever. So, keep them neat.

If you screw up, just set it aside and drop either me or your Sub Manager a
note and we can reprocess a label in a new batch.

Do not write on the QSL cards at all. DO not make corrections etc on the
cards. Place the confirmation stamp imprint stamp in the open area on the
right hand side of the label. It is OK to overprint operator's calls a
little. You do not have to imprint off the edge of the label/onto the card
itself.

ONLY use an official SJDXA confirmation stamp using red ink, either one of
mine with N2OO on it, or if you have one of your own.

If you would like one for yourself I can order one for you.

Let me know.

Also, I prefer that you use one of my return address stamps. But if one is
not available, you can use your own. Just be prepared for "return mail"
handling. PLEASE imprint the return address in the upper left corner of the
front of the envelope. Occasionally, the USPS processing scans the return
address if it is imprinted on the top rear. 

 

You will see an "insert" which is a full color THANK YOU to the sponsors. It
has a nice photo on it and all of the major sponsors' logos, and calls, etc.
PLEASE insert this INSIDE the folded QSL card. Important. A long story. But
I promised we would do that. The NCDXF and INDEXA stuffers do not need to go
inside and can be folded if necessary. Scotch tape any envelopes that do not
seem secure. Sometimes, when you stuff a few QSLs in one envelope, you may
have to do this. Or if the self-stick doesn't seem to be sticking very well,
tape it. 

 

When processing QSL's, be very careful to peel and stick ALL labels for a
call that appear on the sheet. Sometimes they will continue on the next
sheet. Keep your label sheets in order. A batch number SHOULD be printed on
the upper margin of the label sheets. NOTE: Sub managers (WS2C, W2CCW,
K2RET) always do this. Keep the labels in order, and mark the top margin
with the batch number from DXM before handing off these sheets to your
assistants. 

 

Last for now, if for ANY reason you cannot get your QSLs processed in a
timely manner, please let someone know. We have plenty of folks who have the
time. And we want to get them all mailed fairly quickly.

 

Our goal for getting ALL OQRS DIRECT out into the mail will be May 4th at
the latest. Let's try to do that. Next will be the direct snail mail which
should be ready to go by then I hope.

 

Thanks to all for a fabulous effort!

 

See ya' in the Pileups!

Subject: [SJDXA] DXCC CARD CHECKER
Message-ID: <00a701d07dcb$dd5a7370$980f5a50$@comcast.net>

At last night's meeting, we discussed the possibility of SJDXA nominating a
DXCC Card Checker.

Currently, our roster has 40 members! This is the most that SJDXA has ever
had! This is actually kind of exciting!

DXCC Card Checkers are very special folks. Only one can be appointed by each
ARRL Section Manager. The nearest one is Mark K2AX in Hammonton. Others are
W2YC (Williamstown), KA2F (Eatontown), KF2TI (Landing), and W2IRT (West
Caldwell).

Mark is close by. I'm not sure who appointed him. He is a super guy and
would probably be available to check cards if needed.

But, as a DX Club, we have the ability to nominate someone ourselves. This
has been something that Arnie W2OB has "reminded" us about for years. 

We must be an ARRL affiliated club (we are)

The minimum requirement is that we have at least 25 members who are DXCC
members. (I am fairly sure that we have this but we need to verify this with
our members).

Here are the full rules and requirements:

 

 

DXCC CARD CHECKER NOMINATIONS: 

(a) DXCC Card Checkers must be ARRL members who have a DXCC award endorsed
for at least 150 entities; 

(b) To become a DXCC Card Checker an applicant must be nominated by: 

i) ARRL Section Manager, or; 

ii) ARRL affiliated DX Club (A DX club is an ARRL affiliated club with at
least 25 members who are DXCC members and which has, as its primary
interest, DX. If there are any questions regarding the validity of a DX
club, the issue shall be determined by the Division Director where the DX
club is located.) A person does not have to be a member of the DX club to be
nominated, or; 

iii) ARRL Division Director 

(c) All nominations, once submitted, must first be approved by the ARRL
Division Director for USA nominations, or the Vice President for
International Affairs for non-USA nominations; 

(d) Must be personally known to the DX club or Section Manager nominating
them; 

(e) DXCC Card Checkers are appointed by the Membership & Volunteer Programs
Manager; 

(f) DXCC Card Checker appointments are automatically renewed every 2 years
and renewal is determined by performance as determined by the DXCC Manager. 

NOTE: 

. A Section Manager is allowed to nominate only one Card Checker. If that
checker resigns the Section Manager may nominate a replacement. However, a
new Section Manager may not make a nomination if the ARRL Section already
has an appointment; 

. Each Affiliated DX Club may nominate only one Card Checker. If that
checker resigns the club may nominate a replacement. The DX club must have,
at least, 25 members who are DXCC program participants; 

. A Division Director may make one nomination within their division. 

 

A card checker appointment may be removed if it is determined that a card
checker conducts themselves contrary to the terms of their appointment or if
they create a situation contrary to the goals of ARRL and/or the DXCC
program.

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: 

. Must be willing to serve at reasonable times and places; 

. Should Whenever possible should make one visit per year to a scheduled
convention; 

. Should contact a convention organizer if they plan to attend a convention
so that this information can be published in both QST and in local
hamfest/convention newsletters; 

. Must have full e-mail and internet capability; 

. Must allow the publication of their contact information, to include name,
address, telephone number and e-mail contact information both on the web and
in the DXCC publication; 

. Must maintain their current contact information status with the DXCC Desk;


. Must notify the DXCC Desk of any changes in their personal address and
telephone information; 

. Must submit DXCC applications, themselves, to DXCC within 2 work days
after completion; 

. ARRL will not honor claims for cards handled by DXCC Card Checkers; 

. The applicant is responsible for ALL fees and postage at the time they
present their application. DXCC will not bill applicants. 

. DXCC does not provide reimbursement for out of pocket expenses incurred by
Card Checkers; 

. DXCC Card Checkers receive a package of training and reference material to
assist them; 

. The ARRL DXCC List publication is no longer issued to card checkers, the
most current list is available for download on the DXCC web site. Update
information will be made available to them by e-mail. 

. The DXCC Desk will notify Card Checkers of any problems that occur, after
processing, that need attention; 

. Card checkers no longer interested in serving should contact the ARRL DXCC
Manager as soon as possible; 

. Card checkers must remain available on the card checker reflector and not
to block messages. This is the main way DXCC keeps checkers updated with the
latest happenings with the program. This is a closed reflector so it is spam
free.

Subject: [SJDXA] Emergency freq's Nepal
Message-ID: <009001d0834d$37f52ec0$a7df8c40$@comcast.net>

Hello DXers/Contesters:

There are a number of operating activities scheduled for the coming weekend.
In view of those activities, the NEPAL EMERGENCY TRAFFIC NET which has been
operating on 14.205 will be moving to 14.300 at 1400Z TODAY. A second
NON-Emergency Net has been operating on 14.215 and apparently will continue
to use that frequency.

You are asked to PLEASE avoid both of those frequencies in your operating to
allow the emergency communications to be carried out with the few stations
able to operate from Nepal.

Thanks for your cooperation.

73, 
Carl, N4AA

Message-ID: <012501d0836f$2b3d23a0$81b76ae0$@comcast.net>

Hello again,

The situation has been changing with the Nepal traffic nets. 
Unfortunately the 14.300 frequency has not worked out well and the NCS's
have reverted to 14.215 for Emergency and 14.205 for non-Emergency traffic.
They may try 14.300 again, so keep listening on that frequency as well.
These are DIRECTED NETS and are not intended for "routine" information and
definitely NOT for DXing or Contesting.

Although the Net Control stations have been doing a great job, they are
having to modify their operation as the situation changes.

You are again urged to avoid the above frequencies to allow them to do the
work at hand.

Thanks/73,

Carl, N4AA
