The MLDXCC/NCCC joint meeting will be held at The Old Spaghetti Factory in
Stockton (located at March Lane & I-5) in their large banquet room on
Saturday 23 July between 12:00 (noon) and 3:30 pm. This is the same venue as
20010 joint meeting.  It proved to be a great central location with
excellent food and service at a reasonable price.  

 

 

 

Our presentation:  Tom Berson, ND2T, will give a presentation on the VP8ORK
South Orkney Islands DXpedition of 2011.

 

 

 

VP8ORK South Orkney Island DXpedition – DXpedition of the Year

 

 

 

VP8ORK was awarded DXpedition of the Year for 2011 at the Dayton Hamvention.

Operating From January 27th to February 8th, 2011, VP8ORK made 63,436
contacts from the Antarctic island group.  Some of you may have seen Tom’s
presentation in Visalia, but Tom promises plenty of new twists, new stories
and new perspectives. 

 

 

 

Ham Radio Bio of our speaker ND2T:  

 

Tom was first licensed in 1957. He has had a radio within arm's reach ever
since (although his amateur license did lapse for almost forty years). He
loves the challenges of tight integration among radios, computers, and
antenna systems. He is a member of competitive multi-op CW, SSB, and RTTY
contesting teams at W6YX, W6OAT, K6IDX, and W7RN. He is busy making up for
lost solar cycles by working all the DX he can hear, and he prays daily for
more sunspots. 

 

 

Tom has admired antennas during his travels to 9M2, 9M8, 9V, BV, BY, C3, CT,
DL, DU, E5, EA, EA6, EI, ES, F, FO, GD, GI, GJ, GM, GU, GW, HA, HB, HBØ, HL,
HS, HV, I, JA, KH6, KL, LA, LX, OE, OH, OK, ON, OZ, PA, SM, SP, SV, TA, TF,
VE, VK, VR, VU, XE, and YO. That said, he has been QRV only from K, UA1,
