Program:  DX Marathon Tips & Tricks Presented by: Andy Goss AA5JF             Andy Goss AA5JF   Andy was first licensed in 1987, and with access to 10M SSB as a novice, immediately began chasing DX from his parents' house in New Mexico, enjoying the excellent conditions of Solar Cycle 22. By late 1988 he had upgraded to Extra and was assigned AA5JF shortly thereafter. Although he got some rare ones in the log, he sadly missed out on 3Y5X. His last operation before the long QRT was the 1990 California QSO Party, when he used the Cornell University club station W2CXM to win, as an 18-year-old, one of the bottles of wine provided by the NCCC. He was fortunate that his mom saved all his QSL cards, including buro cards received long after he had left for college. He remembered to renew his license in 1998 and 2008, and again in 2018, which was the impetus for returning to the air from his QTH in Augusta. During COVID, he discovered the DX Marathon, which seemed the ideal combination of contesting and DXing. Starting in 2022 he helped organize the SEDXC effort in the DX Marathon, which in 2023 led to the club placing first amongst US clubs. He looks forward to giving a short presentation about what is new and changing in the DX Marathon on February 20th and then will lead a club discussion about tips and tricks for doing well.
