Subject: [DXR] Something t=
o=20
think about....
While you're DX'ing, Contesting, or such, here's som=
ething=20
to think about....balance is an important aspect.
I received this the other day via email from a non-h=
am=20
friend.
The older I get, the more I enjoy Saturday=20
mornings.
Perhaps it's the quiet solitude that comes with being the f=
irst=20
to
rise, or maybe it's the unbounded joy of not having to be at=20
work. Either
way, the first few hours of a Saturday morning are=
=20
most enjoyable.
A few weeks ago, I was shuffling toward the base=
ment=20
shack with a
steaming cup of coffee in one hand and the morning paper=
in=20
the other.
What began as a typical Saturday morning, turned into one=20=
of=20
those lessons
that life seems to hand you from time to time. Le=
t me=20
tell you about
it. I turned the dial up into the phone portion=20=
of=20
the band on my ham
radio in order to listen to a Saturday morning swa=
p=20
net. Along the way, I
came across an older sounding chap, with=20=
a=20
tremendous signal and a golden
voice. You know the kind, he sou=
nded=20
like he should be in the broadcasting
business. He was telling=20
whoever he was talking with something about
"a thousand=20
marbles".
I was intrigued and stopped to listen to what he=
had=20
to say. "Well
Tom, it sure sounds like you're busy with yo=
ur=20
job. I'm sure they pay you
well but it's a shame you have to be=
=20
away from home and your family so much.
Hard to believe a young fello=
w=20
should have to work sixty or seventy hours a
week to make ends=20
meet. Too bad you missed your daughter's dance recital."
H=
e=20
continued, "let me tell you something Tom, something that has helpe=
d=20
me
keep a good perspective on my own priorities."
And that's when he began to explain his theory o=
f a=20
"thousand
marbles."
"You see, I sat down=
one=20
day and did a little arithmetic. The average person lives
about=20
seventy-five years. I know, some live more and some live less, but=
=20
on
average, folks live about seventy-five years."
=20
"Now then, I multiplied 75 times 52 and I came up with 3900 whi=
ch=20
is the
number of Saturdays that the average person has in their=20
entire
lifetime.
Now stick with me Tom, I'm getti=
ng=20
to the important part."
"It took me until I was=20
fifty-five years old to think about all this in any
detail", he=20=
went=20
on, "and by that time I had lived through over
twenty-eight hund=
red=20
Saturdays. I got to thinking that if I lived to
be seventy-five=
,=20
only had about a thousand of them left to enjoy."
"So I wen=
t to=20
a toy store and bought every single marble they had. I
ended up=
=20
having to visit three toy stores to round-up 1000 marbles. I=20
took
them home and put them inside of a large, clear plastic containe=
r=20
right
here in the shack next to my gear. Every Saturday since t=
hen,=20
I have taken
one marble out and thrown it away."
=20
"I found that by watching the marbles diminish, I focused more=20=
on=20
the
really important things in life. There is nothing like watc=
hing=20
your
time here on this earth run out to help get your priorities=20
straight."
"Now let me tell you one last thing=20
before I sign-off with you and
take my lovely wife out for=20
breakfast. This morning, I took the very last
marble out of the=
=20
container. I figure if I make it until next Saturday then
I hav=
e=20
been given a little extra time. And the one thing we can all
us=
e is=20
a little more time."
"It was nice to meet you Tom, I hope y=
ou=20
spend more time with your
family, and I hope to meet you again here o=
n=20
the band. 73 Old Man, this is
K9NZQ, clear and going QRT, good=20
morning!"
You could have heard a pin drop on the band=
=20
when this fellow signed
off.
I guess he gave us all a l=
ot=20
to think about. I had planned to work
on
the antenna that=20
morning, and then I was going to meet up with a few hams
to work on t=
he=20
next club newsletter. Instead, I went upstairs and woke
my wife=
up=20
with a kiss. "C'mon honey, I'm taking you and the kids=20
to
breakfast."
"What brought this on?" s=
he=20
asked with a smile. "Oh, nothing
special, it's just been a=
=20
long time since we spent a Saturday together with the
kids.
=
=20
Hey, can we stop at a toy store while we're out? I need to buy=
=20
some
marbles."
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND AND MAY ALL=20
SATURDAYS BE SPECIAL!

For the IOTA fans, Los Frailes, YW5LF, has been delayed until August.
The Venezuelan Navy ship that was to take the Hams there has been
delayed, probably by another mission. Obviously, Ham Radio is a low
priority for them.

Does any area ham have a small tribander available for sale?
Preferences: A4S, KT34A, Explorer 14, TH5, log periodic.
I also would consider 20 and 15M monobanders no bigger than
3 elements on 20, 4 el. on 15.
I'd like to keep the boom length to 16-18 ft. maximum for my
small tubular crankup and HAM III.
Passed up some deals in the last year that I should've taken!

Subject: [SEDXC] 2 meter status
Message-ID: <001701bfeec0$1b3bd220$821045cf@default>
I finally got a new 2 meter base with tones and was wondering about the
status of "DX Alert AKA Melvin".
I tried to reach NU4D several times as last heard he had a problem with the
software.
If "Melvin" is not working is there any chance that the DX machine 147.195
might carry manual DX alerts.
I use DX Summit and eHam but find many of the spots are from Europe and wish
we could have another source of closer to home spots. I would be willing to
put out my spots (after I work im!).
If Melvin is still down does anyone use 147.51 ..if so I will keep my brick
amp to reach the other side of metro.

I guess I am still a bit burned out from last year's heat -- and I know it
was hotter down below the gnat line. Most of north Georgia seems to be
well covered, so I will most likely be at home in DeKalb county for this
one. But I may get in the car and make a few QSOs from other counties
nearby.

Hi John,
Just checking in on the plans of mobile operators this coming weekend. I
have not been able to get back on the reflector, and am curious who will be
out, and the routes being taken. Billy WB5RYB and I will be out on
Saturday, and are planning our route. We will be on both CW and Phone. I
am not sure of the plan on Sunday, as family commitments will occupy most of
the day.
I will make another attempt to get back on the reflector tonight. Thanks
for your help.
73,
Don Aldridge

>>4X85, ISRAEL (Special Event). Look for special event station 4X85FUK to

>>A9, BAHRAIN. The "DX News Letter" reports that Gus, KH2/K4SXT, has shut

>>September. Gus prefers the lowbands, especially 160 meters.
>>
>>AP2JZB CW-PIRATE. Apparently a station signing AP2JZB on CW (on July 21st

>>They will have four stations on the air. The team consists of Mike, K9AJ,
>>a veteran of many DXpenditions including Heard Island. Mike, N9NS, was
>>part of the recent Clipperton Island team. Jim, W9VNE, a FOC member, has
>>worked many CW contests from VP5. Rick, K8WWA, is a very active dxer from

>>on many DXpeditions and contest groups. This experienced team will be on
>>6m to 40m, CW, SSB, PKS and RITTY. QSL C6AJR and C6DX to W8GEX. SASE PLEASE.
>>
>>DU, PHILIPPINES. Joe, DU1/K7JOE (ex-BV/N0IAT, 7J1AOF, etc), is now active

My pleasure, John, but do you guys have to do this in July??? With lousy
conditions and high QRN it isn't fun like it should be. I was really
disappointed in the poor GA activity as well.
You owe Norm, W3DYA, a pat on the back at least. He was the only reason I
stuck around Sunday. He is one of the best mobile ops there is and I really
enjoy Qs with him in the Parties he does.
I checked ten a lot with some of the loud fixed stations but never heard a
peep except for Norm very weak early Sunday morning. That's another reason I
hate July, hi.
I was hoping this year would put GA on a par with FL, TX, PA and CA. You've
still got a ways to go. 73...

Hello all: Thanks to everyone for your activity and support of the 2000
GQP. As always, it would have been better to have more activity and
more mobiles, but it was a respectable showing and I hope everyone had a
good time. Something that Ben, NJ8J, posted last week is so very true.
Those in Ga who called CQ got a number of callers. If some just
answered others CQs (search and pounce), they may have been a bit bored
since not too many stations outside Ga called CQ GQP.
Conditions were generally not real good, especially for DX, but there
were number of DX stations who hung in there and made a lot of GA QSOs,
like LY3BA and ON6NL.
I hope next year I can do the mobile bit again, maybe with my own mobile
setup.
Here is the claimed score for K4BAI:
Single op, All bands, high power, Muscogee County.
About 17 hours. (about 1 1/2 hours off due to a thunderstorm Sunday
afternoon and another 1 1/2 hours for church.)
