NCDXF announces new video!

I'm pleased to announce a new video about the Northern California DX Foundation.

This video explains the history of NCDXF and highlights the Foundation's many accomplishments, including our scholarship program, the sponsorship of DXpeditions, the NCDXF/IARU International Beacon Network, and support for the World Radiosport Team Championship (WRTC).

Everyone will enjoy the footage from numerous Foundation-sponsored DXpeditions and even long-time NCDXF supporters will probably learn a few things they didn't already know about the Foundation's activities.

The video runs just under ten minutes in length and was produced by James Brooks, 9V1YC. DXers around the world are certainly familiar with the high-quality DXpedition videos James has produced over the years.

DVD copies will be available in the coming weeks, but the video is available now for viewing on-line under the "Videos" section of the NCDXF web site: http://www.ncdxf.org

It may also be viewed or downloaded from the Google Video site at the following URL:

Feel free to spread the word about this video. Thanks for your support of NCDXF!

73, Tim Totten N4GN

The real question is, where do you sign up to go on one of the expeditions?

Well, how about this one? #


A22, BOTSWANA (Ops Needed!)
Frosty, K5LBU (aka-C91CF/7P8CF/3DA0CF), is once again trying to put a team together to operate from another African country. He thinks operating from Botswana (A22) for the IARU Contest in July would be a good place. The contest is July 14-15th, so Frosty thinks that 15 days total would be the best amount of time to operate (arrive on the 9th of July and depart on the 23rd). This would give them 2 weekends on the air. If he can find at least 5 or more operators to join him, he will set up 2 stations (one for CW, one for SSB and/or possibly one can be used for RTTY and PSK or whatever a person would like to run). If he can not find a good place in A22-land, Frosty might look at Lesotho (7P8) if they can get real callsigns and not portable ones. He states that Daniel, ZS6JR, will have to check both places out. If you are interested in joining Frosty, let him know ASAP, at: frosty1@pdq.net

Nicely done video, but only 25% of it focuses on foundation history and the remaining 75% of it is an advertisement for donations to the foundation. #

Makes me think of those St. Jude Hospital movies they used to play in theaters before the feature presentation. #Five minutes of sick kids on the screen followed by a bucket passed around the audience for donations. #

Sorry. #I gave at the office.

Whether you gave at the office or not, that's your and your's only business. #Dropping a ten spot to them should not hurt ur budget (You may not sip the suds, but when I do, I spend that much or more). #There never seems to be a shortage of signals when a rare one is on. Just my two cents. #Thanks for running it through the headphones hi hi
