April 1, 2025 During the March QCWA meeting at Southern Recipes Grill on the 4th Saturday (3/22/2025) we discussed future membership and and activities for Chapter 41. It was decided that two endeavors would be beneficial and provide some solid resources and opportunities for chapter members. Consequently, it was voted on and agreed that the following Chapter 41 executive orders would be issued and effective the first of April 2025: Chapter Membership I. In light of the ease of obtaining an Amateur Radio license it was decided that membership in the chapter should reflect the same. There are many Technician classes that generate new Technician class licensees in a weekend. Shortly thereafter, many upgrade to General and Extra class within weeks or months. Therefore, we have recognized the rapidly expanding body of licensees, the expectation that things should happen quickly (no more waiting months for a license to arrive in postal mail) and the need of the chapter to attract new members. Be it resolved that any individual that has successfully passed and subsequently received an Amateur Extra Class license shall be eligible for full chapter membership. The key factor is for them to acknowlege and accept that the Quarter Century Wireless Association itself, has existed for over a quarter century. They must agree to abide by the principles and philosophy of QCWA. National membership is not needed to be a chapter member. New Chapter Opportunity II. In light of uncertain economic conditions and the ability of the Amateur Radio community to afford radio equipment and accessories, it was decided that the chapter would acquire the assets and business of MFJ, Inc. from Martin Jue. This will provide opportunities for chapter members to obtain equipment at a reasonable cost, help the Amateur Radio community at large, as well as provide employment possibilites for chapter members. Opportunities in sales, marketing and advertising, front office accounting and clerical, engineering, manufacturing and repair will generate an abundance of opportunity. Therefore, be it resolved, that Chapter 41, in acquiring MFJ, Inc. will be able to provide mighty fine junk as well as anyone. Other Matters For Your Consideration Everyone have a wonderful April. If you haven't heard, K5LOL, Tom, suggested that we consider the use of NetLogger software for our Sunday morning QCWA nets. It would facilitate stations that may be farther away from net control, those running portable or QRP equipment, have compromised antennas or those just wanting to ensure that they are recognized as a checkin to the net. It would not be a requirement for either net control stations or checkins to use the software. Let us know what you think. Here is a link where the free software may be downloaded: https://www.netlogger.org/ Here is a short video on what it is and what it does: https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?fr=yhs-trp-008&ei=UTF-8&hsimp=yhs-008&hspart=trp&p=NetLogger&type=Y241_F163_226003_092523#id=1&vid=1b2591bde283ed496861029a31085de9&action=click 73, Jim - W5WN President Chapter 41

Friends, The QCWA Membership form is on line at: https://qcwa.org/join-renew.php For the “Renewal Form”, there is a box in which you can indicate you want to be associated with Chapter 41 here in Dallas. TO: Chapter 41 Leadership: Tom Bunch is a friend of mine and I texted him earlier this week that we wished him a “Happy Birthday” on our Sunday morning net. He texted me back asking for the form to join/renew with QCWA. Note that Tom spends half his time in McKinney and the other half in Montana. 73, Tom Thomas F. Yenny, P.E.

Meeting Notes Joint QCWA, Dallas Chapter 41 / WA5CMI Luncheon Southern Recipes Grill, Plano, TX 11:00 AM February 22, 2025 The QCWA luncheon with the WA5CMI AM operators group was a huge success. We had 11 attendees (list below). There were attendees that were members or participated in either one or both groups in attendance. Jim (W5WN) called a short meeting of Chapter 41. Everyone was welcomed and an introduction to QCWA was provided for those that had no previous knowledge or contact with the Association. The structure of QCWA, it's local chapters and privileges and benefits of membership was explained. Val, (W5PUT) provided details of the limited full trial membership being offered by the national organization for just $3.00. Questions were answered about QCWA national offerings including access to a wealth of historical information, membership journals, certificates recognizing years licensed, QCWA merchandise and the opportunity for full members to recommend recipients for scholarships up to $3,000.00. Jim informed the group that there were officer positions open in the chapter for those interested. Input was solicited as to what programs would be desirable for the chapter to undertake such as a Widows Assistance Program, RFI Committee or possibly and Elmer Program. Val presented a roster from 2015 for everyone to view. It was interesting to see the name and callsign of past members, those still active and those that we regrettably lost as a silent key. When the meeting concluded everyone enjoyed a delicious meal and fellowship. Those present were: Jim - W5WN Val - W5PUT David - WB5KXA John - K5BOI Monty - KA5X George - W5GRD Bob - KE5JL Grant - W5XJ Carl - W5SU Robert - WW9W Walt - W8KSW All were thanked for attending and reminded that there will be a luncheon every 4th Saturday of the month. A reminder and details will be provided on groups.io/QCWA41.

Good Morning Gentlemen, I have attached a copy of the Excel Spread Sheet which shows all of the 16 attendees that Mason Sarles had as he did a thorough job of running the net this morning. Jim Popelarski will send out the list of the March net controllers. The person who is the QCWA 41 Net Controller next Sunday, 03/02/25, should print out he attached Excel QCWA Attendee Count list to use as a guidance list when the list is being called. I hope all of you are doing well and enjoying what little bits of a sort of Spring we are currently having now. I hope that the current weather becomes a trend that continues to grow as the temperature climbs to ordinary Spring levels. My many thanks to Jay Urish, W5GM, who is adding the Sunday QCWA 41 Attendee Count list to QCWA 41 Group list each week that Jay manages so that all the current members may view it.
