Next up: 40M Firecracker Sprint - 4 July! Rules here...		 psk31_dog
Welcome to the PODXS Ø7Ø Club Web Site

40M Firecracker Sprint!

Not all of the fireworks on the 4th of July will be up in the skies - some will be on 40M PSK31!

July 4th, from 8 PM until 2 AM, *** YOUR LOCAL TIME ***, the 40M band will light up with the sparks from the annual 40M Firecracker Sprint.  This Sprint is open to all amateur radio operators licensed to work on 40M.

Exchange RST and your State/Province/Country on 7070kHz or 7040 kHz (DX).   

Full rules can be found at: http://www.podxs070.com/contests/40m_sprint_rules09.htm


 

June Mailing

The long-awaited June Mailing of endorsements and attaboys is heading for the Post Office Monday, 28 June.  The nice folks at the Alexandria, KY Post Office will have a few more envelopes to handle.  The count this time is: DX = 15, VE = 6 and USA = 113.

The last item to make it in this mailing was the Three Day Weekend (TDW) sticker.  Because of the timing, none of the Field Day stickers are in this mailing, they'll be in the next (September) batch.

A quick reminder:  The 40M Firecracker Sprint is on the horizon, ironically on the 4th of July.  Please remember that the Sprint times are 8 PM until 2 AM - but YOUR LOCAL TIME (not UTC).  40M is my favorite band and I'm sorry that I'll miss most or all of this one due to a family obligation.  Y'all have a good time!

History of PODXS and the Ø7Ø Club - Part 1

Saturday, 10 January 2009 21:51 N3DQU

Next year 2010, will mark the 10th anniversary of the PODXS Ø7Ø Club, and with the upcoming celebrations which are sure to take place, for our members certainly do like to celebrate! Smile, perhaps it is time to finally set down, for the record, the history of the Ø7Ø Club. But before the history of this very active group can be examined, one must first look at the roots of the sponsoring organization, the Penn-Ohio DX Society. The birth of the Penn-Ohio DX Society (PODXS) is an interesting story in itself, perhaps a subject for another time. What follows is a short synopsis, so the reader can understand the driving force behind the Ø7Ø Club and how it came to be.
