SPECIAL NOTE FROM THE EDITOR AND NODXA CLUB PRESIDENT
-- Tedd, KB8NW: This issue is dedicated to Jim Hire, W8ZET, --
(1929-2002). It is with great sorrow to report that the members
of the Northern Ohio DX Association have lost a dear friend and
member. Jim Hire, W8ZET, became a "Silent Key" early
Thurday morning due to some complications after an operation on
Monday. Jim, a club member since the late 1970's, really enjoyed
promoting NODXA and DXing. Through DXing, Jim has made many
friends that cover a wide range -- from all over Ohio and many
foreign DXers in Europe. Jim worked 370 DXCC entities. Many
DXers/Contesters have probably met Jim at the Dayton HamVention.
For over the last six years, Jim has invited, hosted and provided
a hospitality suite for NODXA at the Dayton HamVention. During
this yearly gathering of DXers, Jim enjoyed meeting all his
friends from all over the world. Through his wonderful
hospitality, world-wide friendship and club promotions, NODXA
gave Jim (and his wife) a honorary "NODXA Lifetime
Membership". For me, Jim's sparkling smile and presence at
club meetings and seeing his joy at the hospitality suite will be
dearly missed. On behalf of NODXA, I would like to send out the
club's deepest sympathy to his wife, family and many friends.
Please visit the "Dayton 2000 Gallery" Web page to see
a picture of Jim (and me) at: http://hamgallery.com/dayton2002/d0249.htm.

IOTA CONTEST 2002 (1200z July 27th to 1200z July
28th). Don Field, G3XTT, IOTA Contest Manager, reports:
"Just a little over a couple of weeks now until this year's
IOTA Contest. And, judging by the announcemenents in the
bulletins and on the reflectors, there will be a huge ammount of
island activity; plenty of multipliers for the serious
contesters, plenty of IOTA counters for the IOTA enthusiasts. It
looks like the best IOTA Contest yet! Most of you will have seen
the write-up and results from last year (if not, they are, of
course, on the RSGB HF Committee Web page - http://www.rsgbhfcc.org).
The main rule changes this year are in the rules regarding island
DXpeditions, the introduction of a World multi-op category
(previously, only island stations could participate multi-op) and
the introduction of a 100-watt option for all entrants. When you
submit your logs, do please ensure that the cover sheet makes
clear which section and category you are entering (especially,
make clear whether 12- or 24-hour, whether 100-watt or high-power
and whether CW, SSB or multimode. Otherwise you will
automatically be classified as 24-hour and/or multimode and/or
high-power). Advice on how to configure the most popular logging
programs for use in the contest has been posted on the Contests
Committee Web page (see above). There were particular problems
last year with entrants who had used CT. Under some
configurations, the .LOG file did not contain the received serial
number (whereas the .ALL file did). Please check that your log
contains all the necessary information. Electronic logs are
preferred, ideally to the new address of iota.logs@rsgbhfcc.org .
Even if you only make a few QSOs, please send a log - all logs
are entered in the master database for checking purposes. We hope
to improve the collection of logs this year, and I am especially
grateful to Trey N5KO for working with us on this, as he has
previously done for both CQ and ARRL....." 73 Don Field,

28.8k/14400/9600/2400/1200 and leave a message with the Sysop or
send via InterNet Mail to: kb8nw@barf80.nshore.org
- OR - kb8nw@arrl.net. Use
the VOICE or FAX answering machine at 440-237-8208 which shares
the same phone line as BARF-80 BBS using a data/fax/phone switch.
To access: 1) Dial Number. 2) Wait for first ring (the second
ring should be a false ring from the fax/data switch box) and
then dial four quick ones ("1111"). (NOTE: Some FAX
machines that send single "BEEPS" every second will not
have to do this step.) 3) The phone will pick up and after the
"BEEP" leave your voice message or FAX.
