Welcome! Do you teach at Harris-Stowe? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wozniak, Joe Sent: Friday, June 22, 2007 10:20 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [IRCA] 520 Thanks
To All Group Members: 520 Thank you's, to all for such a positive response to my post! I've been lurking in the background for several months now just absorbing as much info as possible (to be honest, at first I didn't know what half of the stuff you folks talked about, but I'm learning). Started taking DXing more seriously after catching KENI (not many people believe me until I tell them I had two other witnesses; that's why I record audio catches now). It's unbelievable what you can hear on a clear, crisp and very cold February night between midnight and 4 a.m. without a working furnace. I know my receiver can't stand up to some of the "dream machines" that many "long-timers" have, but I am stating to catch some of the more difficult stations that they are (I just think that I have finally figured how to use it to the best of its ability). In a different club newsletter that I subscribe to, a member on the west coast submitted a catch of a 50kW station on the east coast. One of the responses stated that a 50kW station doesn't count as "DX" and to stop sending in such submissions. I figured that if you can't hear a broadcast signal on a "semi-regular" basis, that's DX. That's why I haven't posted any logs or participated in either of the clubs activities until now. I'm just confused on the protocols, what counts and doesn't count, what is a good catch and what is not. Off of my soapbox. I would like to send out 520 Thank You's again to everyone who responded to my post; and to those who offered help and advice in the future, I will definitely take you up on that (next project, building a loop antenna). I look forward to posting again in the future. By the way; Apple Wozniak? Yeah right, I couldn't be so lucky;-) 73, Woz **********************Harris-Stowe State University********************** This e-mail is confidential and sent only to specified recipient(s).
