NEW HF OPERATORS - THINGS TO DO

If you are hesitant to try your CW skills during a full-blown contest, how about a relaxed evening of straight key brass pounding? Before you head out for the night's jollity, fire up the rig and try a slow-speed CW QSO in the ARRL's annual Straight Key Night.

BULLETINS

I've received a few submissions for the Creative Compendium issue - keep those pencils sharp and to the point! See the 9 Dec issue for complete details!

BUSTED QSOS

In last week's item on ham radio license totals, the graph by WBØOEW was based on data from AH0A.org, not from the data in the eham.net article.

GAREC-09 - Action Needed

==> An Introduction

This is the first IARU E-Letter for some period of time. As such, I
thought I would take this opportunity to introduce myself. I am Rod
Stafford, W6ROD, the new IARU Secretary. I will also be responsible for
publishing this E-Letter. I assumed the office of Secretary on October
1, 2009. Dave Sumner, K1ZZ has been the IARU Secretary for the last 10
years and he was also IARU Secretary for a 7-year period in the 1980's.
Dave did a great job as Secretary and I hope to continue the high
standard that he established. Dave will continue to work closely with
the IARU Administrative Council and will be Recording Secretary at the
IARU Administrative Council meetings.

Finally! A sunspot appeared on Wednesday, December 9, giving us a
daily sunspot number of 13. This followed 16 days of no sunspots,
and again on December 10 the sunspot number was 13. The new group
is number 1034, and it is a solar Cycle 24 spot, as all sunspots
have been since number 1016 on April 29-30, 2009.
