A Message from the VP:
The
presentation for the August
19th
meeting is still
tentative, but if any of the several
possibilities work out, it will
be most enjoyable. Check back here often and we'll let you know
when the plans are firmed up.
LAST
MEETING
15 July 2010 - 5:30 PM
The meeting was called to order
by 
our President, KR7RK - Keith, who has returned after some absences. The
meeting began with introductions all around and we welcomed W7SWL - Bob 
who has finally sold his California residence and is living here in
Tucson. Also, we have a new member KE7YTE - Tom  . Welcome to SADXA, Tom ! As members introduced themselves
and told of their DX exploits, K6WSC - Bill 
told of the saga of his California 
QSO Party t-shirt that had finally
made it to him via at least four hams, including N6XT,
unknown6call, W6XI and
WD7F. It had been on the road since last fall.
Richard - W1KSZ 
told a good story about an old DXer, W1GKK (SK) - George de
Grenier. W1GKK had been in high competition with W6AM - Don Wallace
and both had been trying to "work them all". For about two
days after WW2 had ended, Portuguese GOA was on the air and George snagged the final
country. Don was out of town and had missed out on that one and
couldn't get it. Thereafter, Portuguese GOA reverted back to
India, never to be heard from again! You win some, you lose some.
And our
Secretary/Treasurer (Hmm, wonder what the event was here!)
KE7GYQ - Doug has DXCC and he's looking for a card checker!
Congratulations Doug! Also, Doug and Gail 
worked with the Central Arizona Credit union and was finally able to get
the bank account for SADXA changed and all is well. See the SADXA
e-mail reflector for the full story. In addition,
he received SADXA's Arizona Trade Name Certificate  .
Keith said that SADXA was going to sponsor a plaque to the highest
Arizona scorer in the upcoming Arizona QSO party. Sometime in the next
few months four new Carribean countries will be added. Also,
folks should start thinking about the Christmas Party coming up before
you know it. What already? Chuck - N7UQ 
said he had worked a couple hundred QSO's using WS7DX.
Finally, we looked at the K4M Midway Island video DXpedition. It
was a very good site for DX and although it was on a remote pacific
island that has only 74 or so permanent resident caretakers, the
facilities were pretty comfortable with satellite TV, provided cafeteria
style meals and the added attraction of a beautiful Pacific ocean beach
view and all the US Fish and Wildlife protected birds and waterfowl to
watch.
  
Easy for you to say...
See you next
month! Don't miss it.
