FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
26 June 2009

From: NCDXF

Subject: W0YK, Ed Muns, appointed to NCDXF Advisory Board

The Northern California DX Foundation Board of Directors is pleased to
announce the appointment of Ed Muns, W0YK, as an Advisor to the NCDXF
Board of Directors. Ed's primary duty, along with Doug Bender, WW6D,
will be working with the NCDXF website: http://www.ncdxf.org

Ed became interested in ham radio in high school, working 40 meter CW
into Asia in the early morning hours before school. During college,
his license expired and he rejoined DXing ten years later in the early
part of his 32-year career at Hewlett-Packard. Ed's interest in DXing
quickly morphed into contesting where a lot of DX participates. All of
his ham radio time today is spent contesting, chasing DX and joining
DXpeditions occasionally. Favoring CW, Ed can sometimes be found on
SSB as well.

Thanks to his contest club's (NCCC) campaign to win the club competition
gavel in the 2004 ARRL RTTY Round-Up, Ed got started in that mode. He
holds the SOHP world record in the contest, operating with his P49X
callsign, having broken the world record in 2006, 2007 and 2009. In CQ
WPX RTTY, Ed also holds the SOHP world record, having broken it in 2007,
2008 and 2009. In 2008, he operated the CQWW RTTY contest, winning SOHP.

Ed was on the YK0A team in 1994 and has operated as 6Y0A and 6Y4A as well
as holding the 7J1ACJ call sign. From Aruba, where he holds a permanent
visitor license as P49X, he has operated nearly a dozen times, primarily
CW and RTTY contests. He has operated from the HC8N mega-station in a M2
operation in the CQWW RTTY, winning the world. He recently joined the
Radio Expeditions team, of VP6DX fame, on the management team with specific
focus on funding.

Ed has taught the RTTY curriculum at Contest University at Dayton in 2008
and 2009 as well as at Contest Academy at Visalia in 2009. He is the
contest manager and log checker for the NCJ NA RTTY Sprint and both CQ
RTTY contests: CQWW and CQ WPX. He serves on the CQ Contest Advisory
Board. For the NCCC, Ed manages the NCCC, CQP and NCCC Sprint web sites
as well as the club's various email reflectors. He has published several
articles in the NCJ.

We think Ed will have a lot of insight for what will be needed to keep
the NCDXF website a dynamic and useful website for DXers.

The NCDXF Board of Directors wants to thank the many individuals who have
contributed support to NCDXF. We realize that these financial times have
put a strain on many of us, but think about the thrill of working a "new
one" or band counter and its impact on your country totals - priceless,
right? If you are currently not a member, please consider contributing
to support future DXpeditions.

DXpeditions:

4W6R Timor Lorosa'e
VK9XWW Christmas Island
VK9CJW Cocos-Keeling
OJ0B Market Reef
