[SEDXC] K4JRB Status

[Dave Thompson]

Hello gang,

I have had some progress as the tower is up and ready for the beams. I have one more set of CT scans to make sure I am cancer free. I did develop a pinched nerve that causes my sciatic nerve to act up in my right leg and started treatment for that this week. I was lucky in winning the IC-7300 from Giga Parts last October. Great little rig (it is lisle). It is really a Software Defined Radio in a box. Allows you to do most digital stuff without needing an interface.

I was upset with ARRL approving IARU membership for DXCC criteria thus adding Kosovo to the DXCC list without consulting DXAC so I resigned as SE Division DXAC today right after Gary W5FI the DXAC chair resigned. Since I became DXAC in January 2010 our recommendations have been ignored and I determined being the DXAC person for the SE Division was not worth the time we put in.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and a good start to 2018.
