FYI, Mixw users might be interested in new multi-mode oriented "club" where one exchanges a number during a digital mode QSO and can earn award certificates. There are other such numbers/awards such as the 070 club, the Olivia Club and the Feld Hell Club . However, in keeping with MixW , the Digital Radio Century Club has multiple modes in mind...
Here is a reprint of a message that I posted elsewhere. It took a while, but I have mined the information associated with the 2900 plus members of the Digitalradio (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/digitalradio/ ) mail list and created membership numbers from those that were obvious amateur radio call signs. Of the 2900+, I managed to find 1415 call signs. Just about 50% You can find the membership list , by call sign and number, at http://www.obriensweb.com/drccalpha.xhtml I will also upload the list sorted alphabetically and by number to the files sections of this mail list To find your call sign , you can use the FIND command in your browser, I will put up a more sophisticated database that you can search when I figure out how (advice/ideas accepted). If you are not listed, it is because I could not find your call sign in the Yahoo groups roster. Just email me and I will add you. New members, henceforth, will automatically be assigned a number when they join. I assigned LOW numbers to some of the well known digital hams and to some of the people that have posted here recently. I have reserved 70 or so other low numbers for people that I may have missed or those with a high number who want to advocate for a lower one. Low numbers will have special multiplier significance in future digital mode contests. So what do you do with the numbers? The numbers will have two purposes: 1. They will be used for future digital mode contests (as part of the exchange) and 2. will be used in casual QSOs where both parties (if members of Digitalradio) will exchange their "DRCC Number" (Digital Radio Century Club number). I stole the idea from the Straight Key Century Club , a CW club that I belong to . There will be several awards announced in the next few weeks but the first ones will be DRCC . Have a digital QSO and collect 100 DRCC numbers (PSK, MFSK16/8, ALE 8FSK, Olivia, PACTOR, PACKET, DominoEx, Hell, MT63, PAX, RTTY, SSTV, Throb, etc , etc) Upon receiving the DRCC award, a special letter will be affixed to your membership number. Your membership number will thenbe worth more points in a digital modes contest. DRCC Multimode : Exchange 100 individual DRCC numbers in FIVE different digital modes (100 in each mode). Upon receiving the DRCC Multimode award, a special letter will be affixed to your membership number. Your membership number will then worth even more points in a digital modes contest. Certificates will be emailed to each successful applicant upon submission of a log detailing each QSO (date/time/band/mode/callsigns/RST and both DRCC numbers exchanged) The QSOs must have taken place SINCE September 30 , 2007. A web based submission process will eventually be developed. Email me for more details. __________________ Andy K3UK
