> 
> SE DX CLUB--- During the month of October, members will be enjoying a 
> little friendly competition. As part of their new mentoring program, 
> they've been telling new HF operators that you don't have to have a 
> tower, a state-of-the-art beam and a megawatts amplifier to have fun 
> working the world. To prove it, during this month, they'll be limiting 
> themselves to the use of no more than 100W and a wire antenna. The 
> objective will be to see which club member can work the most DX 
> entities. Should be interesting.

> ==========> A "FEW WORDS" ON MENTORING 
> 
> Some of our clubs (as well as some individual hams) here in GA have 
> always taken an interest in mentoring new hams, because they've always 
> understood that getting a license is just the beginning. If new hams 
> don't feel included in the local ham community, and don't have anyone 
> to provide guidance, they oftentimes lose interest altogether. Might 
> not even go to the bother of ever buying a radio or getting on the air. 
> Since the rule changes earlier this year, the number of hams who are 
> earning new licenses, or upgrading to a higher class has skyrocketed. 
> Let's compare the numbers from January 1- July 31, 2006, to those for 
> that same time period this year. New technician licensees: 2006-12,268; 
> 2007-15,549; New/Upgraded General class licensees: 2006-2,384; 
> 2007-15,730(!!!) and Extra: 2006-1,909; 2007-4.284. So, as you can see, 
> the need for active mentoring is greater than ever. 
> 
> Members of the SE DX Club are actively working on a program designed to 
> reach out to hams with new HF privileges. How about your club?
