It's been a busy summer, new members, a new QTH for
me and Joan, and really great summer meetings. This
time of year always gets me itching for the coming contest
season (and NHL Hockey) !
The summer meeting at Dave's, N3RD, beautiful QTH
was excellent and enjoyed by all. Thanks to Dave, his
wife and his helpers! One highlight of the meeting was
Steve, K3SW, provided FRC Award plaques for those deserving members that were present. Plaques AND FRC
cups will also be available at the next summer meeting.
The August meeting at Mark's, K2AX, QTH was on August 6th @ 1:00PM. Summer meetings at Mark's are always a great event thanks to his and his family's warm
hospitality. From the chatter on the reflector this one was
no different!
And for our NNJ members, Peter, W2IRT, is planning a
September gathering as well, details to follow.
As mentioned in last months Newsletter, September's
meeting will be focused on Awards and the coming
CQWW 'tests. We also have Dave, K3LP, for our October
meeting.
We will also be able to report on progress being made
with the FRC Database project.
Enjoy the rest of the summer!

Thanks to K3SI, KU2C, N2SS, AA1K, K2NG, N2SS, K3WW, K3SW, K3NL. WA7BNM
and NG3K listings are printed with permission from the source. Very little editing needed on
the very high quality submissions I have been receiving.
If there are any errors or omissions on the officers or BOD, please email me and I will try
to correct them.
This time period very rough for me with “walking” pneumonia. Ugghh. Nice was to lose 7
pounds without even trying.. Then off to NH cabin to op NAQP CW and WAE CW. TERRIBLE conditions!!!!!
Thank you all for supporting the newsletter, it makes writing and editing it a pleasure. I
got ANOTHER article accepted by Nuts and Volts, however, we will see if they actually do
print it.
You will note that I do not have a fixed format for each edition, this is by design, not accident, to make room for the many contributions of articles , photos, etc. (besides the Pres. Letter and FRC Honor roll). I have received some caustic criticism for my new format. I may
take a survey to see if you enjoy the FRC-filtered preliminary scores section or not… it is
good “filler’ in my mind. I enjoy reading the filtered results hi hi (CW for laughter).

DXFC – DXCC by foot
By Alan J. Donziger, N3AD
Do you know how many DXCC countries you’ve actually stepped foot in? Do you want
to know? Who in our club has travelled extensively? Are you traveling to an exotic (or
not so exotic) spot in the near future? Would you like to talk to someone who has been
there? There’s an easy way to keep track of your DXCC travels and to get answers to
these questions.
DXFC stands for DXCC by foot. Stewart/GM4AFF maintains the program at dxfc.org.
You become a member simply by registering. It’s free and it’s fun. The 340 DXCC
counties are listed (339 of them have been visited by members). Anyone going to be
near P5 in the near future? You can be famous – at least on the DXFC site and probably elsewhere as well.
I have asked John to provide space this in the newsletter. The list will be updated each
month and will be continued as long as there is interest.
I have gone through the list of FRC members and former members who have posted
their DXFC info on the DXFC site. If I missed anyone, please let me know and it will be
included next month.
W3BGN is far in the lead with 135 countries visited. I know Steve and Carol have done
much traveling since they retired. Steve also visited a number of exotic places when
he served in the Navy as a young man. It’s never too late to say Thank you for your
service Steve.
W3PP is in second place one short of the century mark. Sadly, he will never achieve
that goal. We still miss you Dallas. RIP friend.
W2VW is in third place with 87. Jack accumulated many of these countries during his
military career. Jack, your service is also much appreciated.
Who in the FRC has visited the fewest countries. Anyone at 1? Don’t forget that class
trip in elementary school to 4U1U.
I know there are many others who have travelled extensively. Whether you’ve visited
many or few countries go ahead and register. It really is fun to fill in the list and think
fondly of our past travels - maybe some not so fondly. In futures issues we may include a short write up by members of some of their current or past trips which have
added to their DXFC totals. These can be printed at the discretion of our Newsletter
editor as space permits.
There are 17 FRC calls listed. Let’s see if we can double that by next month. Just register at dxfc.org. It really is fun.

The Xiegu X108
This unit I acquired when my X1M died, and the serviceman offered to sell it to me.
It is an 80-10M QRP rig, SSB-CW. It is single conversion and has a CW filter for
CW.It is single conversion, and not quite singe signal in a contest environment. I have
run in several CWT’s. The main problem seems to be quality…. The not eis T8 if you
are not into a 1 to 1 SWR, and the audio is not good unless the audio compressor is
set to 3. Otherwise, it is sensitive and full output. The AGC overloads in a contest
situation… about what you would expect for $500 for an all band radio (unless you are
getting a KX2 or LD-11… not enough cash right now for those).
Rig control emulation the IC-718 works well.
Now that is a SHORT review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you ever heard of the CW Operators Club? If not, it is a global organization that
was founded in 2010 for the single purpose of promoting the use of CW. There are
currently 1256 members worldwide. A few of the activities include hosting weekly onthe-air activities, provides CW training (known as CW Academy) and runs an annual
CW Open contest. For more about the club please refer to: http://www.cwops.org/
For more information about the CW Open please read on.
The CW Open is made up of (3) separate 4 hour events that all occur on the same
day. This year the event date is September 3, 2016.
Session 1 is from 0000 - 0400Z.
Session 2 is from 1200 – 1600Z.
Session 3 is from 2000 – 2400Z
All amateurs worldwide are invited to participate as you don’t need to be a CWOps
club member. There is only one category (Single Operator) and one mode (CW of
course). You also get to select your power category from QRP, Low Power to High
Power. The exchange is also quite simple and includes only your QSO number and
name. (ie: 25 Bruce) As the event sessions are standalone, please send your individual Carbrillo formatted submissions to http://www.b4h/net/cwops/. NOTE: Paper
logs are not accepted. Just a couple more facts. For a list of computer logging programs that support the CW Open please refer to: www.cwops.org/cwopen/html. Finally, many of us like to participate as a team member which is very popular for the
CW Open. For more info about team competition, including how to register your team,
please refer to: www.cwops.org/cwopen.html.
If you have questions please feel free to refer to the CW Operators website HOME
page at http://www.cwops.org. On the left side there are numerous buttons that will
provide additional CW Ops information. One of them about mid-way down the list is
the CW Open. Should you have additional questions, please feel free to email me
directly at: [email protected].
Finally – I hope to get you in my log for all 3 sessions and for many bands!
73,

2016 – 2017 FRC Award Program
By Steve Walters, K3SW
FRC Awards Committee Chairman
[email protected]
This article describes a slightly revised version of our awards program. There are no
big changes, just small ones. Here’s a brief summary of the changes followed by the
complete write-up for each award.
No changes are proposed for the FRC Cup, the Top Ten or the Four-In-Four awards.
The Most Improved award now has different thresholds for qualifying, a larger number
of plaques awarded (five), and different criteria for receiving a plaque (the highest total
contribution of points for both years rather than the percentage improvement). There
will be only one size of mug offered this year and a slightly higher total point contribution is required to receive it. Participation certificates will be provided only on request.
There is a new award, “Excellence in Recruiting” for those bringing new members into
FRC.
Since this is our 90th Anniversary, every plaque, certificate and mug will bear the
phrase “Ninety Years of Excellence!” and “1927 – 2017” just above our logo. Also there
will be a commemorative plaque that anyone can purchase (see the last item).
I look forward to delivering many of these awards to all of you next spring! If you haven’t already, get your station and antennas ready to go and do some warm up operations to get your gray matter going! Go FRC!
FRC Cup
The FRC Cup is the ultimate recognition award offered by the Frankford Radio Club. It
is given annually to the FRC member who contributes the most points toward the club
aggregate score during a contest season. The Cup is a perpetual award established
several decades ago to honor our “Top Gun” performers. The Cup is passed to the top
scoring club member at the end of each contest season. A brass plate with the year,
winner’s name and call is permanently attached to the base of the Cup to forever honor the winners.
To qualify simply compete in as many of the “Big Four” contests as possible (CQWW
DX Phone and CW, ARRL DX Phone and CW), submit your logs indicating FRC membership within the contest’s timeframe and rules, and post your score to the 3830 reflector.
Top Ten Award
The Top Ten awards are personalized plaques given to those FRC members who produced the ten highest point contributions for FRC during a contest season. Winners
receive a plaque in recognition of their achievement.

Four-In-Four Award
The Four-In-Four award recognizes the exceptional effort of FRC members who operate in all four major contests and achieve a minimum of one million points in each of
the four events during a contest season. Plaques are presented to those who accomplish this.
To qualify simply compete in ALL of the “Big Four” contests (CQWW DX Phone and
CW, ARRL DX Phone and CW), score a minimum of 1,000,000 points in each event,
submit your logs indicating FRC membership within the contest’s timeframe and rules,
and post your score to the 3830 reflector.
Most Improved Award
All members who compete in at least two the “Big Four” and total 500,000 points or
more during the current season and had earned 250,000 or more in the previous season will receive this award. The five members with the highest total contribution to the
club for the two years will receive a plaque and all others will receive a paper certificate.
To qualify, first be sure you earned 250,000 points during the last season. Then simply compete in as many of the “Big Four” contests (CQWW DX Phone and CW, ARRL
DX Phone and CW) as possible, score as many points as possible, submit your logs
indicating FRC membership within the contest’s timeframe and rules, and post your
score to the 3830 reflector. If you achieve a combined score for all contests entered of
at least 500,000 you will receive a plaque or a paper certificate according to your total
score.
Coffee Mugs
Members who participate in at least 2 of the big 4 contests and total 1,000,000 total
points will receive an 11 oz white coffee mug with the FRC logo on one side and an
appropriate annotation on the other side.
Participation Certificates
All members who contribute will, upon request, receive an electronic certificate (PDF)
listing their name / call / total score / FRC rank and thanking them for their contribution.

their name / call and an expression of appreciation for bringing new members into the
FRC.
90th Anniversary Plaque
Available for purchase by members or non-members will be a special 90th anniversary
plaque. This plaque will bear the banner “Ninety Years of Excellence!” “1927 – 2017”
above our logo and will list as many phone and CW club victories in CQ WW and
ARRL DX as well as other major contests as possible. It will also list all FRC members
inducted to the Contest Hall of Fame and as many as possible CQ WW and ARRL DX
first-place finishes in US or World categories by FRC members.
Anyone not wishing to purchase a plaque can download a free electronic PDF version
suitable for printing. Non-members and those outside the US may be interested in this
option.
The exact details of the plaque design will be forthcoming at the end of the contest
season prior to taking orders. These will be sold at our cost plus the cost of shipping.
Members and non-members alike can order them.
