The DXAC report came through here (I believe it was Bob's second try) as straight text in the message body rather than as an attachment. At this point on Monday morning I have no idea what's going on re: the multiple copies but I'm sure they're working on it upstairs. I am not receiving multiple copies.

Time for the WD-40 and duct tape! I have now received Coy's #12671 six times. Bob Vallio's two recent posts regarding the DXAC report came through twice each (so far). The second one may have been supposed to have the DXAC report included or attached, but no report was found in the e-mails I got. The really odd thing is that posts from several other people only arrived once. Joel's comment about Mailwasher is well-taken. The program helps a person not waste time downloading dupes, spam, viruses, and other gubbidge. However it won't stop one's incoming mail space on the server from overflowing if a dupe has a big attachment and you can't get to your e-mail because you're traveling, it's night and you're asleep, you actually have a life, etc. Maybe it's time to break out the Wouff Hong and Rettysnitch and work some ham radio voodoo on the darn computer. Let's see, we could meet in the HQ parking lot at midnight .... 73 - Kay N3KN

DX Advisory Committee Semi-Annual Report
by Bob Vallio 11 Jul '05

11 Jul '05

DX Advisory Committee Semi-Annual Report June 30, 2005 To the American Radio Relay League Board of Directors Submitted by Jim O'Connell, W9WU Chairman, DX Advisory Committee Central Division Representative Introduction This has been a quiet period for the DXAC Committee with no substantial issues or assignments. DX and Other Issues Committee members were disappointed to learn that Southeastern Division Representative Bob Alphin, K4UEE, and other team members had to re-schedule their trip to Peter I island for 2006. The American Samoa/Swains Island White Paper by K1ZZ was posted to the Committee reflector to assist members in answering any questions from their local DX'ers. During May, an Informal Eyeball DXAC gathering at the Dayton Hamvention has been part of the Committee's tradition for a number of years. While no Committee business is discussed, we meet informally after the DX Dinner and 14 present and former members stopped to say hello. Pacific Division Director Bob Vallio, W6RGG and MSD Manager Wayne Mills, N7NG also dropped by the DXAC table. The ARRL booth area and display received many favorable comments from DXAC members attending the Hamvention. The DXAC will continue to solicit feedback from the DX community on current DX issues and pass those opinions on to the P&SC and ARRL staff. We remain ready to discuss and make recommendations on any matter or issue referred to the DXAC by the P&SC or Board of Directors. Respectfully submitted, Jim O'Connell, W9WU Chairman, DX Advisory Committee Central Division Representative -- Bob Vallio -- W6RGG Pacific Division Director, ARRL The national association for AMATEUR RADIO

10 JUL, 2005 - 2340 CDT Tonight, I downloaded two more copies of Coy Day's complaint to Chris Imlay... including the attached file. Both messages had the same message number as Coy's original message. It's apparent that our upgraded list server software is either misconfigured or has a bug in it. - Dick, W9GIG

[arrl-odv:12686] Tnx from W1AW/5
by Joel Harrison 11 Jul '05

Thanks to all that got on the air for the 2005 IARU HF Championship contest this weekend and worked W1AW/5 operating from Arkansas. Lot's of fun for the whole gang down here. We had five host stations in the north central part of Arkansas on 160-10 meters SSB and CW for the entire contest. The 80 meter SSB and 15 meter SSB stations were operated from W5ZN. While at the mic I personally worked K0BJ, N3KN, K1KI, and W2OWL (N2FF in disguise!). I'm sure there were others that are in the other logs that I haven't seen yet. 80 meters turned out real well from here for a July summer night in the south. The band was quite in all directions despite the hurricane to the southeast. We managed 406 Q's with 30 multipliers from 23 different countries. Thanks again to all who gave us a Q. 73 Joel W5ZN

That's another benefit of "Mailwasher". Aside from getting rid of spam you can also look at the mail on your ISP server and delete it BEFORE you go through a painful download process.

So far, I have received only 7 copies. This was about the longest email download I have ever received in one pass. Not the most, just the longest in time consumed. 73 - Dick, W9GIG

Just one reason why I can't wait to graduate (~3 weeks, baby!) and move from Atlanta back to the benign Rocky Mountain Division... Of course, we can use all this moisture back west to knock out our fires... See everyone next week -- school notes in tow... 73, Brian, N5ZGT On Sun, 10 Jul 2005, Sandy Donahue wrote: > I talked to him yesterday. He is VERY experienced in this type of thing.

Just talked to Frank-He has no power but little damage to his house. He has a vacant condo on the beach that was not fully repaired from Ivan last year and he doesn't know what new damage there may be because there is an embargo to travel to the beach at this time. Frank reports that he recorded a high wind gust of 82 mph and has collected over 3 inches of rain so far. The airport is closed and hopefully will be reopened by Wednesday when he is scheduled to fly to the BoD meeting. See you all later this week. 73 Sandy, W4RU
