Don’t forget that the Ohio QSO Party
will be starting at noon on Saturday, August 27 and continuing until midnight
is the annual Ohio QSO Party. It’s the
one time of the year an effort is made to have all 88 Ohio counties active. In
2015 86 of Ohio’s counties had participation. During this event, many
county-hunters from throughout the world will be looking for new Ohio Counties
for their program awards. If you think
trying to work all 88 counties from within Ohio is difficult, think how
difficult it is from Europe, Australia or Japan! Your contact just could make someone’s day by
allowing them to add a new county to their logbook.

From the 8th Region Incoming
QSL Manager,
Jack Shirley, N8DX
All W1AW/X cards have been sorted and
are being shipped out to the letter managers this week. The only exception is
the letter F which is transition to a new manager. Letter O may be a bit behind
as K4ZLE is on the CY9 expedition.
The ARRL pays the expenses of the QSL
bureau from which they make no profit. Most other bureaus around the world
require membership and charge fees. If
you are not an ARRL member consider joining or make a donation.
73,
Jack, N8DX

Are you getting those emails from me? If
not, all you have to do is to “Opt-In” to receive them. Heck, just send me an

I’ll get you added to the mailing list.
There’s a link to do this on the Ohio Section website, it’s on the bottom left
corner.. For your convenience, here’s a direct link to it: http://arrl-ohio.org/forwarder/forwarding.html I urge all of you to make sure that everyone,
