The program for the November SCARC meeting will be a video about the 2009 DXpedition to Desecheo Island.

Until this DXpedition, Desecheo Island was one of the most needed DX entities in the world (2nd in Asia and 6th world-wide). There had not been a big DXpedition to Desecheo since the early 1990s.

Tour of the N0NI super station on October 10, 2009

Toni, N0NI, has graciously agreed to give us a tour of his antenna farm and contest station on Saturday October 10 at 9am. All SCARC and CARC members and other interested parties are invited to join us. I expect that we will have a meeting point in West Ames or Boone on Saturday morning at around 8am so that we can drive over in larger groups. Of course, those driving from other directions are welcome to form their own groups and meet at N0NI at 9am. More details will folllow as the date approaches.
