Re: ATTENTION FREE AGENTS
Charlie Trice <k8ij@...>
Greetings all,
I'm torn. On one side there's TARA.
I've got a great certificate on the wall from the 2000 Fall Classic
Rumble. Since then I've been tuned into the TARA reflector and keep up on
all their goings on.
On the other side there's PODXS. I have
another great certificate from them (#38) as a member of the 070 Club. I'm
getting stuff from their reflector, too.
So there's this line drawn in the sand and all I
can think of is to mess it up a little. So here's the latest
thought:
K4FBP and K8IJ will revive the old Florida
Amateur Radio Transmitting Society, get 3 more folks who are in Florida, have
ever been in Florida, or have ever heard of Florida to join us and
take y'all on.
Looking forward to the Rumble on October 6th.
VY 73,
Chas, K8IJ (ex WA4RRB)
Gaffer for F.A.R.T.S.

Thanks for looking this up. I'm not really an IOTA chaser, so I don't own one of their directories. I'm into it only enough for the 070 purposes. Steve

IOTA Ref Number
Steve W3HF
Does anyone know whether Whidbey Island in Puget Sound counts
as IOTA NA-065 (WA State North Group) or NA-169 (WA State West Group)? From the names, I would guess the former, but I'm not sure. By the way, if you can find him, Guy, WB5MXO/7 is vacationing on the island. I worked him last Friday (20m), and I think he said he'd be there for a month. 73, Steve W3HF

Re: W3KM General Logger
John AG4CZ <ag4cz@...>
Well personally I think it is the best PSK contest software going
(cant beat the price either). Now my opinion is slightly biased given the testing that I did. One important note *** You MUST use the [enter] key to go to the next field. If you do not, the mults will not be correct (i.e.. no [tab] key). One of the tests that I conducted was to load my TDW contacts and the scoring came out perfect. Now if only I would have had this in June. I have also verified the scoring and duping for the upcoming Rumble and it is all set. The CCCC and Anatolian contests have been checked over but not as detailed as the TDW and Rumble. Jay -- you can address the xyl situation with a wav file keyed by the task manager in Windows. You could use a proximity sensor too. My xyl runs screaming when the computer talks to her :) John AG4CZ --- In 070@y..., N3DQU@a... wrote: A while ago AG4CZ posted a note about a contest logger writtenby W3KM that supported among other things, the 070 Club Three Day Weekendwould you believe!

Off The Air (maybe)
tgstoops <n3xc@...>
Hi all, just to let everyone know that I will
off the air for awhile. The xly and I are going to sunny Arizona for 10
days to visit her cousin and family. I am hoping to use her computer in
Az. to correspond with everyone, to keep up to date on all the activities going
on with the Rumble coming up.. If I'm lucky, I'll find a local ham that will let
me use his rig to make some qso's from 7 land..I tried to put together a
portable station that I could take with me but to no avail...So, DA1TJO, YL2FD
AND KC0DEB, keep looking for that last TOP DOG, and see you guys soon on the
air!
WOOF!

Mysteries of the 070 Club explained!
N3DQU@...
Every so often we hear from an 070 Club member who wonders why he got his
certificate in the mail but not his endorsements, or visa versa. For those relatively new to the 070 Club and those members who have often wondered but were afraid to ask, here is a brief description of the 070 Club organization and what happens with your applications. The 070 Club is a PSK awards program sponsored by the Penn-Ohio DX Society, a very small (only 4 members!) HF-oriented club located in western Pennsylvania and more commonly known by its initials PODXS (pronounced PO-DIX), not to be confused with the Ohio/Penn DX Bulletin, a very fine weekly DX newsletter published by Tedd Mirgliotta, KB8NW. The 070 Club itself is run by two guys, both named Jay. For convenience sake and to avoid any confusion, they will be referred to by their callsigns KA3X and N3DQU. KA3X is the manager of the 070 Club and holds certificate #001. He is the Top Banana and takes care of the new members, issues 070 Club member numbers, member certificates, Ragchewers certificates and QSO upgrade spots (e.g. 50, 100, 150, etc). KA3X's email address is < JHudak3rd@aol.com >. N3DQU takes care of the 070 Club website and all of the information placed therein. He also takes care of the 070 Club reflector, issues the endorsements (e.g. Aloha, Lower 48, Hot Dog!, etc.) and often spends his off hours thinking up new ones just to keep you guys busy! N3DQU is also the contest manager and takes care of such things as the Three-Day Weekend (TDW), which just took place in June and was a big success! N3DQU's email address is < n3dqu@aol.com >. If they are lucky, KA3X and N3DQU may see each other once a month. There is no central database and no meetings to conduct 070 Club business. Almost all correspondence regarding the 070 Club is passed between the two via the internet, and each mails out the respective items that they are responsible for to the members. For example, if a member puts in for an upgrade to the 300 QSO level and also applies for an Aloha endorsement, then the 300 spot will be mailed out by KA3X and the Aloha endorsement will be mailed out by N3DQU. For best results, please send your applications and requests to the person responsible for that particular item. If you send a QSO upgrade to N3DQU for example, your request has to be forwarded to KA3X and may result in a delay. By the same token, if you send an endorsement request to KA3X, then he must forward the information to N3DQU, once again possibly resulting in a delay. So you can see that it is quite possible to receive your upgrades, certificates, and endorsements all at different times, even though you had applied for them at the same time. The TARA Spring Wakeup and the TDW also slowed throughput down quite abit this past two months, but the backlog has been cleared up and everything is now back on track. The 070 Club is free and open to all amateurs licensed to operate on the HF bands. Operation of this awards program is made possible thru the support of PODXS and contributions made by 070 Club members. Many thanks to all the 070 Members for your participation and enthusiasm! 73 de Jay N3DQU.
