This resource details the computer-optimized design of the _ZS6BKW_ multiband dipole, an evolution of the classic _G5RV_ antenna. It begins by referencing the original 1958 RSGB Bulletin article by Louis Varney G5RV, explaining the operational principles of the G5RV's flat-top and open-wire feedline on 20m and 40m, noting its impedance transformation characteristics for valve amplifiers of that era. The article then transitions to the rationale for optimizing the design for contemporary solid-state transceivers requiring a 50 Ohm match. The core of the project involves using computer modeling to determine optimal lengths for the flat-top and matching section, aiming for a VSWR of less than 2:1 on multiple HF bands. It discusses the process of calculating feedpoint impedance based on antenna length and frequency, referencing professional literature from Professor R.W.P. King at Harvard University. The analysis also considers the characteristic impedance (Z(O)) of the open-wire line, identifying a broad peak of adequate values between 275 and 400 Ohms. Specific design parameters for the improved ZS6BKW are presented, including a shorter flat-top and a longer matching section compared to the original G5RV, with a velocity factor of 0.85 for the 300 Ohm tape. The article confirms acceptable matches on 7, 14, 18, 24, and 28 MHz bands when erected horizontally at 13m, and also discusses performance in an inverted-V configuration, noting frequency shifts. The author, Brian Austin ZS6BKW, emphasizes the antenna's suitability for modern 50 Ohm coaxial cable without a balun.

Over two decades of historical DX spots and news are archived on this Japanese resource, providing a retrospective look at amateur radio propagation and activity across various bands. The content is organized chronologically, with separate sections for _50MHz_, _HF DX_, _144MHz_, _EME_, and Satellite clusters, detailing spot data from as early as 1996 through 2014. This extensive archive serves as a valuable historical record for analyzing long-term propagation trends and significant DXpeditions from a Japanese perspective, offering insights into band openings and rare entity activations. The resource also includes links to other DX news sites like _425 DX News_ and _Ohio/Penn DX Bulletin_, along with QSL manager lookups and callbook services, enhancing its utility as a comprehensive DX information hub. While the primary cluster data is historical, the compilation of external links points to active resources for current DX operations. This makes it a useful reference for contesters and DXers researching past conditions or seeking information on specific DX entities and their QSL routes.

The Northern Ohio DX Association (NODXA) operates a voice repeater on 147.36 MHz with a +600 kHz shift, utilizing the club callsign W8DXA. The organization provides an award program for contacting its members and offers DXCC and Honor Roll patches to recognize member achievements. NODXA publishes a monthly newsletter containing DX information and meeting minutes, with a recent brochure and membership application dated May 2024. The club actively promotes DXing, allocating a portion of its finances to support DXpeditions, and several members have also financed their own expeditions. The NODXA roster was last updated in June 2015, and a list of supported DXpeditions was revised in June 2024. Tedd Mirgliotta, KB8NW, serves as the club president and is the editor of the OPDX Bulletin, a widely distributed internet and packet cluster resource. Meetings are held on the first Monday of each month at Amici Italian Restaurant & Bar in North Royalton, Ohio, located at 13000 Royalton Road, near the intersection of Route 82 and W.130th Street. The club leadership includes Dennis Stuber, K8LBT, as Vice President; Glenn Williams, AF8C, as Secretary; and Mary Michaelis, N8DMM, as Treasurer.
