WTFDA IS GOVERNED BY A BOARD OF DIRECTORS: DOUG SMITH, GREG CONIGLIO, KEITH McGINNIS AND MIKE BUGAJ. Editor and publisher: Mike Bugaj Treasurer: Keith McGinnis wtfda.org Webmaster: Tim McVey wtfda.info Site Administrator: Chris Cervantez Editorial Staff: Jeff Kruszka, Keith McGinnis, Fred Nordquist, Nick Langan, Doug Smith, Peter Baskind, Bill Hale and John Zondlo, Our website: www.wtfda.org; Our forums: www.wtfda.info _______________________________________________________________________________________ As we take a look at the month of February, we find, to nobody’s surprise, that not much happened in the world of VHF Dxing. E-skip was again noticed a few times on DX Sherlock but, as usual, DXers in the southern states were the ones to take advantage of it. Dxers in the northern half of North America will have to wait for May to arrive. February temperatures in much of eastern North America were above normal on many days with daytime temperatures in the northeast USA topping 50 degrees (F) on some days. Some tropo materialized in the Midwest but nothing at all was noticed in the northeast. This month we’d like to give a WTFDA welcome to new member Mario Filippi (NJ). Welcome, Mario, and we hope you enjoy it here. Renewals for the period of Jan 21st through Feb 14th came in from Melvyn Larson (MN), John Rieger (WI), Steve Wiseblood (TX), Calvin Glover (NC), Jim Pizzi (NY), Kaimbridge (MA), John Zeis (PA), Rick Shaftan (NJ), Craig Healy (MA), Girard Westerberg (KY), Dave Nieman (PA), Paul Hansen (MA), Allan Radella (PA), John Ridge (NY), Dan Dankert (CA), Edward Ritchie (WI), George Rogers (GA), Wolfgang Schneiter (CA) and Jeff Rostron (MA). A great big “thank you” goes out to all of you who decided to stay around through this transition period. George Rogers writes “I have been loyal to you for over 30 years and I will stay that way for years to come.” Of course, George means loyal to the WTFDA, just in case you wondered. We will probably have more info on this as it gets to us, but it looks like we will have another NRC/WTFDA Convention this year and this time it’s in West Virginia. WTFDA and NRC member Bill Swiger and his wife Brenda will host it this year. The dates are August 3, 4 and 5. The convention will be held at the Days Inn and Suites in Bridgeport (near Clarksburg). Room rates are around $71.00 a night. There will be a hospitality room with beer, soft drinks and snacks. Dinner will be on Saturday night with a meeting and auction. Speakers and tours are still in the planning stages. Bill has attended at least three WTFDA conventions and he has hosted NRC conventions in 1991 and 1999. This is your chance to drive a truck down there and bring me back two tons of nut coal. If you are interested in attending Convention 2012, drop an email off to Bill. His email address is [email protected]. He needs some idea on how many rooms to reserve and how many people to plan on for dinner. On a side note, I do not think that WTFDA has ever had a convention in West Virginia, so it should be some experience. On a different subject, following up on the article about new FM antennas being designed by Bill Hein in the February VUD, I saw a picture of one such antenna sitting in their shop in the UK. This particular antenna is shorter than an APS-13 and is built differently from any other FM antenna I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait to hear more about it. That’s it for the Mailbox for this month. It has been a very slow month but all of your DX column editors have come up with something for this issue. Have a good March and we’ll see you next time. -Mike 2 Douglas E.

We’ve learned from our challenges and remained firm in our commitment to fact-based journalism and cultural offerings that enrich our nation. We thank all those who make NPR possible. 2010 NPR ANNUAL REPORT | 02 NPR NEWS While covering the latest developments in each day’s news both at home and abroad, NPR News remained dedicated to delving deeply into the most crucial stories of the year. © NPR 2010 by John Poole The Grand Trunk Road is one of South Asia’s oldest and longest major roads. For centuries, it has linked the eastern and western regions of the Indian subcontinent, running from Bengal, across north India, into Peshawar, Pakistan. Horses, donkeys, and pedestrians compete with huge trucks, cars, motorcycles, rickshaws, and bicycles along the highway, a commercial route that is dotted with areas of activity right off the road: truck stops, farmer’s stands, bus stops, and all kinds of commercial activity.
