MINUTES OF THE FEBRUARY 17, 2021 MEETING OF THE
                      NATIONAL CAPITOL DX ASSOCIATION

The regular February 2021 meeting of the National Capitol DX Association
(NCDXA) was held online using the video conferencing tool ZOOM.

Those in attendance included:


Name        Call Member

Fred Matos W3ICM Yes
Bud Governale W3LL Yes

Ed Kuebert   K5EK Yes

The meeting was called to order at 7:00 PM EST by President K3ZO.   Those
present were asked to introduce themselves.

W3MMM and WA7NB, having met the requirements of membership, were welcomed
into NCDXA and were asked to give
brief bios of themselves.

Following that, general discussion ensued.

WA3DVO, having once been stationed on Midway Island, discussed operations
on this DXCC entity with WA7NB, who had
been on a DXpedition there.

W2GPS discussed his plans to move to Colorado and his search for someone
capable of doing tower and antenna work there.

KE3GK showed his new HA8KF Morse keyer paddle which he acquired from DX
Engineering and invited those present to say what type of paddles they
used.

N4ZH briefly discussed the funeral ceremony for NCDXA member Ben Baddley
W4FQT which he had attended.  NCDXA had arranged to plant a tree in
remembrance of W4FQT, who had
for years been one of the more active members of NCDXA.

K5EK reported that a tornado had hit an area only ten miles from his QTH
although he suffered no damage at his place.  Since he established his
residence there, Ed has also gone through three hurricanes, and is thinking
of moving further inland so he can be closer to his son’s family.

W3LL discussed the difficulties of contest participation when most of your
antennas are out of commission, but reported that he had managed to come
out OK regardless.

W3ICM reported on his efforts to raise his DXCC total on 160 meters now
that he has been able to put up some decent antennas and has therefore
become active in DXing again after several years of inactivity.

With the assistance of W2GPS it was decided that the next regular meeting
of NCDXA will take place online on Wednesday, April 14, 2021  at 7:00 PM
Eastern time.  Meanwhile, the regular NCDXA online DX information sessions
organized by Treasurer Phil Barsky, K3EW will continue to take place every
Wednesday at 7:30 PM Eastern time.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:58 PM EST.

Respectfully submitted,
Fred Laun, K3ZO
President and Acting Secretary
