Many of us still need Mt Athos on multiple bands and modes. Especially with the coming DXCC Trident award. This was sent out by Bernie today… It was exactly fifty-years (50) ago in 1975, when SV1GA/A broke the silence and Mt. Athos was on the air from the monastic community in Greece. While the dedicated religious community of some 2000 monks in twenty monasteries, Month Athos is now in a glorious state with many new constructions and renovations underway. To honor the 50th anniversary of the 1975 activation, the original organizers: Aris, SV1GA and Martti, OH2BH were invited to come back to Mt Athos together with Adrian, KO8SCA, Gabi, YO8WW and Niko, OH2GEK. The SV1GA/A team has arrived in Mt. Athos today and is busy setting up their camp, up in the mountains. They should be on the air today but it would take 2 or 3 days to be fully operational. 73, Don, N5DD

Looks like the Mt Athos expedition was a bust. Not clear if the logged QSOs will count for DXCC. While waiting for an answer from the local authorities that issued our permit, the SV1GA/A team decided to leave Mt. Athos. Team members Adrian, KO8SCA and Gabi, YO8WW have left yesterday and Aris SV1GA, Niko OH2GEK and Marti, OH2BH are on their way home today. We are hoping to be able to provide further details soon. 73, Don, N5DD

From: CTDXCC <ctdxcc-bounces@...> On Behalf Of Madison Jones Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2025 12:54 PM To: CTDXCC <ctdxcc@...> Subject: [CTDXCC] First quarter DTDXCC club meeting minutes January 14, 2025 President Glen WB4KTF called the first quarter 2025 Zoom meeting to order at 1830 CST. In attendance were KJ5T, W5MJ, K5PI, KF5C, N5DD, AD0K, WB4KTF, W9BF, NA5TT, KB5JM, KB5JM, KB5WWW, KG5RXE, N5TJ, Wayne (unidentified), WA5LHM, new member David Sanchez KJ5IVP, W5OZ, AC5AA, AA5R, N0VRP, new member Eric Rust K5LH, W5BK, and W5AJ. KJ5IVP and K5LH each received a rousing welcome and the new member packet will be arriving by steamship within a reasonable time . . . The Program: The program was the KH8T DXpedition in September, 2024, by N5DD, W5PI, VE7KW, and KC5DJI. The DXpedition team was on 160 thru 6m and supplied Club Log with daily logs. The team reported that 10m was great in the middle of night! Team captain N5DD attempted to obtain Superfox certification; unfortunately, it was delayed and not used; the other FT modes were used to greet the unwashed to lots of Qs. The count on all modes and code exceeded over 43,000 total Qs for the trip. There was a third station used for FT8 only while the other two stations worked SSB and CW. There are no resident hams on American Samoa for local support but the team managed without any additional support by excellent planning. The facility was an AirBNB with a good hostess next door. She provided a meal of local delicacies at considerable expense, but the food was good. Too bad the team forgot to ask the price ahead of time . . . DX Report: On, nearly on, and soon to be on are lots of DX, including SSB, CW and FT, so there is something for everyone. Get on the air and work them! The Treasury: Treasurer SteveKJ5T reported $5397.70 in the kitty. CTDXCC has no required dues but if you belong to the club and want it to continue to be solvent, donations are accepted. Send a check to KJ5T. Business and member contributions:. There was no old business nor new business, but several of us stuck around after we adjourned and talked about things which were on our minds. [Ed. note: If you really want to know about these things, attend the Zoom meetings - the program was really good - or attend the social gathering on the last Tuesday of the month - or read the After Action reports issued after the social gathering. If things are really important, they would be reported . . .] We adjourned at 1956 CST.

9X2AW and TJ/TKTK1CX are on this month. Check if you need them for band/mode slots. JD1/JG8NQJ Minami Torishma will be on through mid-March. I worked him on 10 CW and he promptly uploaded to LoTW. He has also been spotted on FT8 and SSB. Please join us for a great breakfast and DX talk. Saturday, February 8, 9:00 am Cracker Barrel 221 Enterprise Blvd, Hewitt, TX 76643 This is on I-35, in the Walmart parking lot. I will not be present as I will be attending HamCation in Orlando. Please reply to this email thread so others may know if you are coming. Tnx & 73, Don, N5DD
