INDEXA NEWSLETTER ---> The Summer 2019 edition (#126) of the International
DX Association's Newsletter is now available for download (also in the
Spanish translation provided by Otis Vicens, NP4G) on the INDEXA's website:
http://www.indexa.org/newsletters.html. This issue reports on the DXpedition
to Kanton Island, Central Kiribati (T31EU) which took place earlier this
year. This DXpedition had support from INDEXA's DXpedition Fund and from
INDEXA's "Hams with Hearts" Fund.
In the same issue there are several other items of interest. A primary
benefactor of INDEXA's "Hams with Hearts" Fund, Zorro Miyazawa (JH1AJT) has
been named Honorary Advisor to Bhutan's Olympic Committee President as he
continues his encouragement of education and healthy growth for youth in
various nations of the world.
INDEXA Director Otis Vicens (NP4G) reports on his solo DXpedition to Easter
Island accompanied by his father. It is a pleasant story of a father and
son reconnecting as adults.
If you have ever wondered about the process of how INDEXA processes requests
for DXpedition funding, INDEXA President Bob Schenck (N2OO) provides the
membership with a rundown of how it all happens.
Finally, if you haven't already noticed, a new video presentation has been
generated in the past month which explains DXing and INDEXA's role in
"Helping to Make DX Happen". There is a link to the presentation in the
article. [TNX K8YC]
