  ARRL Foundation Announces New Scholarship Opportunities
With 60 scholarships awarded in 2007, the ARRL Foundation is pleased to announce the addition of two new scholarships for 2008. The scholarship application period runs from October 1, 2007 to February 1, 2008. Applicants for any ARRL Foundation scholarship must arrange for current transcripts to be provided as a part of the application process. The David W. Misek, N8NPX, Memorial Scholarship, honors Misek, a resident of Xenia, Ohio and long-time ARRL Life Member. Misek was a strong advocate of Amateur Radio education as highlighted by his many years of teaching licensing classes, mentoring new hams and actively participating in public service activities. His lifelong dedication to Amateur Radio was dedicated to building awareness of Amateur Radio and introducing the magic to new hams. Beginning in 2008, the Misek Scholarship will award a $1500 scholarship to a current resident of Greene, Montgomery, Champaign, Darke, Preble, Miami, Clark, Butler or Warren County in Ohio. The Scholarship of the Morris Radio Club of New Jersey is endowed by a $31,671 gift from the Morris Radio Club. Starting in 2008, a $1000 award will be made to a qualified candidate without regard to geographic area or course of study. Information for each of the ARRL Foundation scholarships, including application instructions and forms, may be found on the ARRL FoundationWeb site http://www.arrl.org/arrlf/scholgen.

 

DXCC Blog Notes
ARRL DXCC Manager Bill Moore, keeps a DXCC Blog on the ARRL Web site http://www.arrl.org/blog/DXCC%20Dialog. In it, he posts news and updates to the ARRL DXCC program. Moore notes that there is a link on the DXCC Web page to a text version of the DXCC list. “To help facilitate those who design programs and databases to track and report DXCC, I have added a new field to this list designated ‘Entity Code.’ This is the 3-digit code currently used in the computer system to
assist in designating entities,” he said. To find out more about the ARRL DXCC program, please see the DXCC Web page http://www.arrl.org/awards/dxcc/. If you have any questions concerning DXCC or any other ARRL award program, e-mail the DXCC Desk DXCC@arrl.org.

New amateur antennas on space station
Two new amateur radio antennas have been installed on the Columbus ISS module. Set to launch later this year, Columbus is a laboratory module built by the European Space Agency. The new antennas will be used with a new amateur radio station, still to be built, and will facilitate operation on new bands and modes. One planned new mode is a digital ATV downlink. (Thanks, RSGB)
