Re: History of the term "Green Book"?
开云体育? The Green book goes way back to when the clubs ‘official’ color was green.? Green was the Washington Evergreen State color and we are a Washington club.? Therefore, we had green QSL cards, green shirts and green club jackets made. I have one of the few remaining jackets. ? The 1982 original printed club roster was sized to about 3.5” x 6” when we had fewer than 100 or so members and the cover of the directory was printed on green paper.? After 1982, the size was slightly reduced to 2.5” x 5.5” to fit shirt pockets. ? Now that we have nearly 400 members, a pocket sized directory isn’t practical, so we’ve gone digital. The pocket sized directory ended in 2011. ?You’ll notice that the title and border of the PDF document still maintains a green color out of tradition and we’ve kept the name Green book which is the club roster. ? Good question. I hope this answers it. ? Wayne, AI9Q Green book editor ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Mike - KK7LNF via groups.io ? I've just gone with the flow for the past few years, but why is the member directory referred to as the "green book"? Given that the club's "green book" isn't a business guide nor a service directory, why is that name used? Why isn't it just the "club directory"? ? Any insight would be appreciated. ? -- Mike H |

History of the term "Green Book"?
I've just gone with the flow for the past few years, but why is the member directory referred to as the "green book"?
In my googling I've found that the Green Book was a travel/business guide for black americans by Hugo Green, which explains how the word "green" came to be used in the title. I also found that the New York City calls their employee directory "The Green Book" after the color of the cover back when it was published. Given that the club's "green book" isn't a business guide nor a service directory, why is that name used? Why isn't it just the "club directory"?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Re: CQ WW WPX Contest
In addition for those of you who run N1MM software in the contest, you can Telnet to my DX spotting network, and display the Bandmap window.? Very handy for seeing who is on.? Bring up the Telnet window, and change the value for K7AR to port 7373.? It's wrong as shown in N1MM.

Re: CQ WW WPX Contest
Let me add, for those new to contesting, the CQ?WPX contests (there are three, for SSB, CW, and RTTY) are basically "everyone can work everyone", so you are not limited to only work DX, and you are welcome to work US stations. This contest is a perfect opportunity to get some contacts for your WAS (worked all US States) certificate, because you will likely be able to work operators from all 50 States in just one weekend, band conditions are very favorable as well. The contest exchange?is pretty simple, "59" and a serial number beginning with "001". 73, Bernd - KB7AK On Thu, Mar 27, 2025 at 9:23?PM Dave - WZ8T via <wz8t=[email protected]> wrote:

Ft Vancouver Activation
I was out at Ft Vancouver doing a Pota activation yesterday, only my 2nd time activating.? I was there over 3 hrs and got a whopping 2 contacts.? Both those contacts were within a minute of each other.? The rest of the time I was enjoying the outdoors.? I did set up my rig and it worked too.? That was encouraging.? Am hoping to activate from BG Lake next time. |
