Annual Awards

Congratulations to Award Winners

The DXer of the Year award this year went to TWO very deserving receipients. The awards committee deliberated long and hard and in the end found both members had met the criteria for the award. We are fortunate to have great members in the club who exhibit the finest qualities of competition, cooperation and service to others. These two are the best of the best.

And the winners are: Wes Voss/WV7P and Jed Petrovic/AD7KG

Also deserving of the award he recieved is Oliver Barrett/N7JLC. Working from his powerful, mega-station in Eagle Mountain (100watts/vertical) he has built up his DXCC totals impressively and gained DXCC this year. He is an accomplished CW operator and has demonstrated great prowess on DX bands.

Again, congratulations to all three of you!

Thanks to John, K7ALA, our new webmaster

A big "Thank You!" to John, K7ALA, for his hard work on this the new UDXA club website.

This is a "work in progress" and will remain so because we, none of us, can leave well enough alone. It will grow and develop over time as we find ways to improve it.

The hard work of developing the infrastructure has mostly been done and much of the content remains to be migrated from the previous site.

You are encouraged, as you use the site, to make suggestions and to contribute content that will make the site more useful and informative. Please contact John or Darryl with those suggestions.

The process of paying dues and maintaining club membership records is now automated here. So, log on and create your account and pay your dues for 2012. You will be able to maintain your club membership record and contact information from that time forward.

You may add content by uploading any pictures you may wish to share to the Member Gallery pages. In the future you will be able to load video as well.

I'm sure we will all enjoy the new site and will find it a valuable tool for us to manage the club and enjoy this great hobby of ours.
