DAVE KORINEX - 505 Redondo - Oceanside, CA - 92054 I thought s ince I j u r t Joined t h e Club i n October, it was

time a n i n t r o war i n order. So, here goes: I ' m 20, have been DXlng s ince 1971 ( r e r i o u r l y r i n c e 1974), a l l DX has been done on a Coll ins R - ~ ~ ~ / u R R w/an arsortment of LW's from two l a c a t i o n s . F i r s t was Ft. Walton Beach, FL (8/74-10/75), & now here. Inc iden ta l ly , I was i n Ft. Walton when Hur- r i cane Elo i re raked t h e Florida Panhandle w/the eye making l a n d f a l l Jus t 18 miles E of my l o c a t i o n on 9/23/75. We only got 128 mph windr. I ' d g ive almost anything t o experience another day 1 l k e t h a t . (Huh? ZERC) I n Jan. '75, I had forecas t a hurricane t o h i t Ft . Walton i n 9/75. Af te r making t h e fo recas t & convincing a few people t h a t I worked f o r (whose businessem were r i g h t next t o t h e ~ u l f ) t h a t my forecas t was r e a l , t h e r e & war J u s t p l a i n luck. But f o r aome reason, I f e l t sure. Anyhoo, here a r e some r t a t s from m current loce t ion , beginning Oct. '75: 401/212 s t a t i o n s , 41/39 r t a t e a , 8 d p rovlnces, 34/11 countr ies . I spend about 30 hours a week on DX-related sub jec t s . I attended ASL's Thanksgiving GTQ i n San Diego, my f i r s t publ ic exposure t o t h e DX world. I met some blg- g e r names i n DXlng on t h e WC - BLH, ASL, H J C , Don Erickson, Randy Seaver, e t c . Mr. Qoorge McKay of McKay-Dymek respec t fu l ly showed of f h i s DA-7, & ' got my f i r r t look a t a funct ioning Sanserino Loop, my next Investment. U n t i l next time, good DX, and R.

J I M WVEL& - 8021 Kensington Boulevard - Apt. 1 5 - Davieon, M I - 48423 Happy New Year! I hope everybody has had a happy holiday

regron. With a couple weekr Crhsitamr recere from MSJ I 've had a l i t t l e more time t o M. F i r a t DX s e r s i o n of t h e month of December was the 6th. That MM yielded MAP-630 midnight W/OBS NX f a i r U/CFCO. WNBY-1450 limp- ed i n 0 12:30 w/r/c. That meanr I only need WMIQ t o complete M I on 1450. Listening f o r YOnD-1400-TEST I hea d code O 1:03 & 1:09, and they were deep i n t h e ruck t h e r e s t of t h e time. KKJO-1550 s/off was caught a t 1:21. On 12/23 s e v e r a l rout horn r t a t ion8 were p u t t i n g i n good s igna ls O SSS lncluaing semi-regulars WVOK & WCPC, plus newie KOKA-152U 8 5:08 u/ CBE.

Later t h a t morning 8 1 0 I war very shocked t o have WAUK-1510 boom- i n g i n w/relay of FM. No evidence of usual WJCO, sure was n i c e hearing rome % e a u t i f u l mx* i n r t e a d of t h e nbrrnal c/r. That p r e t t y well sums up DX t o date. .On t h e t r a v e l f ron t I was down i n LAD-Land 12/10-13 v i s i t i n g t h e family f o r the holidayr. I had planned on a chat with Gary Atkinr & Ted Flelrchaker , but my mother took suddenly ill so I was unable t o con- t q c t e i t h e r .
