New Years 2009 may have come and gone but its never too late to resolve to help preserve and encourage CW activity across our amateur bands.  To celebrate the new year, come and join the NAQCC (North American QRP CW Club), a club for any and ALL CW enthusiasts around the world.

Our members include “Big Gun” contesters, hard-core QRPers, experimenters, ragchewers and SWLers; young and old alike.  As different as we may be, we all share one thing in common, and that is our love for CW.

We welcome all who want to help support CW and have at least some interest in using QRP from time-to-time. Our club runs monthly sprints and challenges. Plus we sponsor some additional special on-air activities during the year.

Membership is FREE and once you join you’re automatically a lifetime member!  So sign up today and help us keep CW alive and well.

Visit our web site at http://www.usatek.net/~yoel/.  You’ll find info on all of our various activities plus an online membership application.

We look forward to your support and hope to soon see your call added to our membership roster.

All,

Normally I would not use this venue to advertise but thought it worthwhile to give everyone a heads up..

We would like to announce a special end-of-year sale at our US / NA distributor DX-IS (( http://www.shop.dx-is.com )).

You are possibly aware of the recently ever increasing EUR/USD exchange rate, currently 1 EUR = 1.46 USD. If the rate stays that high, we will inevitably have to increase the prices for our products sold in the USA. The good news is that Paul (K4UJ) at www.shop.dx-is.com still has some inventory that was purchased at the old prices.

###  DX-IS WILL THEREFORE KEEP THE LOW PRICES UNTIL 01/31/2008
###  OR UNTIL THE CURRENT INVENTORY IS SOLD.
###  (WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST)

Afterwards we will have to adjust all USD prices according to the USD/EUR exchange rate valid in January.
DX-IS is located in Lilburn, Georgia and ships by UPS to anywhere in US/NA at low shipping rates.
Don’t miss this great opportunity to order now at the same low prices valid since the end of 2006!

On behalf of Paul and Con(DF4SA)

While not directly DX-News related, I thought that several of you might enjoy a trip down memory lane. This site contains a good number of the old heathkit schematic diagrams.
