[IRCA] Fanatic Ultralight Network (F.U.N.) Plans For 2008.. Give Your Ideas!

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
     If you are the proud owner of an SRF-59, SRF-M37V,  DT-200VX, DT-210V, 
DT-180V, C.Crane SWP, or SRF-T615, and have experienced the  great thrills of 
DXing with a tiny pocket radio, we want to hear from you!
 
     This sudden boom in pocket radio DXing took  everybody by surprise, and 
we are attempting to organize in some way to provide  information, technical 
support, and competitive challenges.  We are  all dedicated IRCA members, and 
hope to spread our enthusiasm throughout IRCA,  providing not only benefits to 
IRCA, but to medium-wave DX in  general.
 
     Some of the ideas already being discussed  are:
 
1)  Immediate, detailed information on new Ultralight  portables
 
2)  Cooperative sharing of the information from technical  experiments
 
3)  East coast and west coast Ultralight DXpeditions (to chase TA's  & TP's)
 
4)  Awards program for Ultralight TA and TP accomplishments (we are  all 
honest!)
 
5)  East coast vs west coast competiton in overall transoceanic  reception 
(yes, we really are honest)
 
6)  Competiton to receive the most countries in one year with an  Ultralight 
portable (barefoot)
 
7)  Compettion to receive the most states in one year  (barefoot)
 
     This list is only a very small dream currently...  we need your 
enthusiasm and ideas to make it a reality!  If you would  like to be a part of the 
2008 Fanatic Ultralight Network (or if you just  want to say you think this whole 
idea is a joke, and that we are all nuts),  feel free to express your ideas 
off-list to me (and I will be happy to hear  even negative comments).
 
                                                                              
               73,  Gary DeBock
