N6ITY - Dennis
SADXA Vice-President 2020

AC2K - Alan, opened the meeting, setting the evening's agenda saying that we had quite a bit of business including the SADXA elections, an award for a memeber, the secretary/treasurer report, a quick round table and a fairly long video presentation.

To start the evening off, one of our members, KD7UIZ - Don was presented with a Certificate of Appreciation for his contribution to the ham radio community through his efforts with the local RST Hamfests, Ham Radio Picnics, Radio in the Park, Field Days and other activities.  Thank you, Don!

W7TUS - Mike, our Secretary/Treasurer reported we are solvent and requested that the members pay their dues for the year, then  AC2K - Alan reported that he and our current Secretary/Treasurer had agreed to serve for another year, however, asked for any nominations to those offices.  None were offered and he declared that they were retained by unanimous consent.  With our VP K7NN - Don stepping down, Alan asked for any nominations for Vice-President, receiving none, asked for any volunteer.  N6ITY - Dennis said that he would serve and was unanimously elected to the position of Vice-President. Congratulations and thanks for serving, Dennis!
The DX Round Table resulted in a few of the members reporting their results with our President saying the scores needed to be submitted by the end of the month..
  AC2K - Alan said he had 133 High Power CW contacts for the Challenge.
N7FG - Frank reported 17 on RTTY Low Power for the Challenge. He said that with a little pistol 50 Watts to an end-fed wire all of 15 ft off the ground he recently QSO'd 5T5PA in Mauritania and OE6MDF in Austria on 80m FT8 to complete a WAC on seven bands for some more wallpaper.
KB7KZ - AJ said he had workedTiawan and Guam, a couple of new ones for him.  
W0PZD - Dick, said he's been working on a Fusion node and didn't have much more to report.
W7DCM -Dave says, in spite of an ongoing solar minimum, DX continues to find its way into my logbook.  For the SADXA Challenge, I worked 54 entities in the Low Power CW category.   The challenge was fun and I look forward to the next one. The best of the recent DX is VP8LP, out of the Falklands, on phone.  I happened to catch him as he was getting started.  I learned later on that this was the ham who broke the news of the 1982 Argentine invasion to the rest of the world. I have also recently set up a LoTW account.  I may be asking for help in setting it up for award credits.
K6WSC - Bill had 120 Low Power CW for the Challenge.
KB7AZ - Carl reported the Challenge activity with 48  CW, 32  , 35 RTTY, 28 SB and 87 Mixed.
With that, K7NN - Don initiated the door prize drawings for a couple of nice items,  the ARRL Calendar and a hard cover , ARRL Antenna Book, a nice prize indeed.
With KB7JAQ - Scotty drawing the winning tickets, the Calendar was won by our annual guest KA7FAT - David and the Antenna Book winning ticket was held by KD7UIZ - Don who had a nice evening, I'd say. .  

With that, the evening presentations began. (See Below)
