  • Tufts and the Medford Community
    Tufts and the Medford Community Connecting with Neighbors It is impossible to imagine Medford today without Tufts University. Our “children, our businesses, and our institutions all benefit because Tufts calls our city home. We continually find new ways to work together and meet the evolving needs of our residents and the Tufts community. We are proud to have Tufts as our partner. MAYOR MI”CHAEL J. MCGLYNN The Office of Community Relations at Tufts is pleased to present this report to the Medford community. It is a snapshot of the many connections, partnerships, interactions, and opportunities that bring the Medford and Tufts communities together. Straddling the Medford/Somerville city line, Tufts University, through its Office of Community Relations and many other departments, works with neighbors, organizations, city government, and the public schools to enrich all parties and build strong partnerships. The Tufts University campus occupies roughly 150 acres, with approximately half of the university in each city. The Medford/Somerville campus houses the School of Arts and Sciences, the School of Engineering, the Jonathan M. Tisch College of Citizenship and Public Service, and the Fletcher School. In addition, the School of Medicine, the School of Dental Medicine, the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences, and the Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy occupy a campus in Boston’s Chinatown district. The Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine is located in Grafton, Massachusetts. To our Medford neighbors: Tufts University is proud that it has shared a rich history with the City of Medford for nearly 160 years.

  • Sheigra Dxpedition Report
    Sheigra DXpedition Report 12 th to 25 th October 2019 - with Dave Kenny & Alan Pennington This was the 58th DXpedition to Sheigra in Sutherland on the far north western tip of the Scottish mainland, just south of Cape Wrath. DXers made the first long drive up here in 1979, so this we guess, was the 40 th anniversary? And the DXers who first made the trip to Sheigra in 1979 to listen to MW would probably notice little change here today: the single-track road ending in the same cluster of cottages, the cemetery besides the track towards the sea and, beyond that, the machair in front of Sheigra’s sandy bay. And surrounding Sheigra, the wild windswept hillsides, lochans and rocky cliffs pounded by the Atlantic. (You can read reports on our 18 most recent Sheigra DXpeditions on the BDXC website here: http://bdxc.org.uk/articles.html ) Below: Sheigra from the north: Arkle and Ben Stack the mountains on the horizon. Once again we made Murdo’s traditional crofter’s cottage our DX base. From here our long wire Beverage aerials can radiate out across the hillsides towards the sea and the Americas to the west and north west, and eastwards towards Asia, parallel to the old, and now very rough, peat track which continues on north east into the open moors after the tarmac road ends at Sheigra. right: Dave earths the Caribbean Beverage.

It is the seventh time we have stayed in Mary’s cottage in the far north-west corner of the Scottish mainland (the original DX holiday cottage used from 1985 to 2001 sadly still stands empty and unoccupied after 10 years). The weather was mild and sunny for the first two days, a pleasant relief from the heatwave further south, but then it turned very windy with heavy showers, the strong gusts proved a challenge, snapping our African aerial on top of the hill. The second week was mostly dry and mild with a couple of glorious sunny days. There were a lot of sheep around but apart from occasionally bumping into the canes they did not cause any problems. Deer attack! After all the problems with deer on our last visit in 2009 we were rather reluctant to put up a North American wire this time (it extends over the distant hills where the deer tend to roam at night) intending to use the loop instead, but that proved noisy on MW so we decided to run out the 1 beverage after all.
