conduct the DXpedition and tear down for departure. "Thus far, we have only
raised just over 53% of the money that we need to complete this DXpedition",
the team says. "As payments on the vessel begin next month, we must ask the
world-wide DX community for their support. Visit our website at
www.amsterdamdx.org and contribute whatever you can. We need your help".
[TNX K0IR]

accessories and computers. Please contact Harry, AC8G for detailed
information (htflasher[@]gmail.com, Skype flasher-ac8g). [TNX AC8G]

experienced DXers, will be held on 20 September in conjunction with the 61st
W9DXCC DX Convention. Each session will cover a different aspect of DXing,
including operating practices, digital DXing, chasing awards, QSLling,

the W9DXCC web site (www.w9dxcc.com) when Convention registration is active.

Kip Edwards (W6SZN, Director and Secretary), Martti Laine (OH2BH,
Director), Mac McHenry (W6BSY, Director) and Robert Vallio (W6RGG,

The necessity of an election for a new President was occasioned by the
resignation of Wayne Mills, N7NG. Wayne has founded DX University
(www.dxuniversity.com) and takes over as the new DX Editor for CQ Magazine.
The Board also decided to acknowledge Mr. Mills' many years of service to
the Yasme Foundation by making a contribution to DX University in support
of the goals shared by the two organizations. Additional information about
The Yasme Foundation can be found at www.yasme.org. [TNX W6SZN]
