Welcome to 43DA379 Jim
March 21, 2010 by Darren
The Dx Adventure Radio Club is pleased to present to you 43DA379 Jim who is our latest addition to the team in Australia. A previous affiliate of the Thracian Rose (TRC), Victor Lima (France) and Delta Tango radio clubs respectively, Jim is one of 43 Division’s most practised and respected DXers and comes highly recommended from existing members such as 43DA162 Brett, 43DA021 Brian and 43DA225 Frank.
Joining DA-RC via the DX Chaser classification with more than 50 Divisions worked and confirmed to his credit (See http://www.delta-alfa.com/about/become-a-member/ ), 43DA379 Jim possesses a nice station which consists of an IC-718 by ICOM with a vintage Turner microphone which gets great reviews by all reports, a Uniden Grant (his old fave) for use on the citizens band, a Werner Wolf 5 element yagi for chasing international DX, and a Sirtel 5/8 wave vertical antenna for local comms.
43DA379 Jim’s home QTH in the Land Down Under is Park Holme. This is a lovely suburb of Adelaide in the City of Marion, South Australia with a population of just over 2000 people. Flanked by the Sturt River, the inner south-western suburb of Park Holme is within a brisk gallop of one of Adelaide’s racecourses, Morphettville, and is famous as being the home of one of the country’s leading Swim Centres.
Outside of the radio communications hobby which has been a major part of his life for the past 35 years, Jim enjoys spending time with family and playing Play station with his grand children. One of Jim’s passions is also listening to music and he is an avid collector of old records and tapes which he picks up as bargains from the local markets or second hand dealers.
“In the time available to me on radio,” says DA-RC’s newest face in OC-001, “I will promote the DA Club and its members as A1 class in Australia and overseas. I have many friends who are also members so it will be nice to join the team and use the callsign…!!!”
On behalf of the World HQ Team and everyone associated with the Club, welcome to DA-RC Jim. We trust you will enjoy making many new friendships within the Club and love using the call when chasing DX on the band.
