[DX-CHAT] K5KA SK
From K5YAA OKDXA Pres & W5 QSL bureau manager: I am sorry to report to all that my good friend and OKDXAer Ken Adams passed away peacefully this last Sunday afternoon. Most of you know Ken had been undergoing chemotherapy for some time now. This entire past year he continued in good spirits and operated the ARRL SS CW test just a couple of weekends ago in the MS category with his friend Steve Merchant K6AW. He and Steve had operated HC8N in the Galapagos Islamds quite a number of times together. Ken was our presentator at an OKDXA banquet a few years back with many comments and photos on Galapogos Island. Ken was well known around the country for his work on the Sweepstakes as the contest manager for the past couple of years and for his efforts at building and maintaining one of the top domestic contest stations in the country. His station regularly won the NAQP M/S category and I was privileged to be part of the operating team quite a number of times. Ken will be missed. Even before his passing I missed operating his FB station this past August in the NAQP. It was always a grand time after the 12 hour contest was over. During and after we had good snacks and food with plenty to wash it down. His wife Vicki always made sure we had plenty of things to keep the energy going. She supported Ken and his hobby 100%. In September, operators from around the country came to Bartlesville to help Ken dismantle one of his two towers and reorganize the beams on the first tower. K1TO Dan from Florida, N6TR Tree from Oregon, N5KO Trey from California, N5RZ Ralph from Texas, K3LR Tim from Edmond OK and myself had a fine weekend at Kens place. He had a long list of items to get done and most were accomplished by late Saturday. I remember he was quite pleased to have so many folks travel such distances to help him wind down his station. I believe the reason they came was to help their long time friend with his wishes. I know that is why I went to his QTH that weekend. Ralph, N5RZ sent the following email to let me and us know of Ken's passing. Jerry: Just talked to Vicki. Ken passed away peacefully this (Sunday) afternoon. He will be cremated, and there will be no formal service. However, Ken has told me repeatedly (and perhaps some of y'all) that when the antennas come down he wants us to have a big BarBQ - a celebration. We will plan this sometime after the first of the year. Vicki's e-mail isvicadams...@gmail.com Mailing address: VICKI ADAMS 24211 PHILSON FARM RD BARTLESVILLE, OK 74006 USA She said she will probably put together a condolence page on the web. RIP Ken. 73, Gator Indeed, RIP Ken we will all miss you. K5YAA forwarded by K5RH OKDXA secy/treas --- To unsubscribe or subscribe to this list.

While we're on the subject, what happened to the online QSL received database they promised? I'm not finding it and it appears their website hasn't changed in months. Anyone have the URL ? 73, Ross K5RH harris_ruben <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/28/2006 07:15 AM To dx-chat List cc Subject [DX-CHAT] 4O3T It's 4 months now.

Re: [DX-CHAT] a timely subjec
Steve & other interested parties, I like you have AboutTime on a dozen or so systems. It works fine on 4 of them this morning so my educated guess is that your failing system isn't able to connect to the internet or you have changed some security parameters that prevent access. It's a great little program and offered free without 47 page EULAs etc. www.arachnoid.com/abouttime/index.html 73, Ross K5RH "litwins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or.com> cc: Sent by: Subject: [DX-CHAT] a timely subject [EMAIL PROTECTED] dxa.org 12/31/2003 11:24 PM Please respond to litwins Happy New Year all; I have a small problem and need a consensus. I run a time-correcting utility called "about-time". It's freeware, and has been running flawlessly for years and years on several computers here in my house. It uses NIST, NASA and US Naval Observatory as its 3 time-servers. Up until about two days ago it was running, on command, just fine. Now, it still runs ok, but times out on all 3 servers and gets no time correction for this computer. The other computers here that can access this utility are wired off-line for the moment, so can't use them to double-check this one. Anybody else see this problem? Anybody have any good words of advice? Have a great year y'all, and work lots of great dx...73/dx steve, k8wk * Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org

I always use " QRL ??
