   Hats off to our NCDXF contributors!!!   
   The primary purpose ofÿNorthern California DX Foundationÿis to help fund   
   well-organized DXpeditions to rare, difficult and expensive entities.ÿÿEven   
   though the current solar cycle is winding down, the NCDXF has been seeing more   
   activity than ever in its    
   history.ÿ Recently, two large grants were given to the 2018ÿBouvetÿandÿBaker   
   IslandDXpeditions, both currently ranked in theÿTop 5ÿMost Wanted DXCC   
   entities.ÿ We have also contributed toÿWRTC 2018, the ARRL Ham Aid Fund,   
   provided tuition for youth at DX    
   and Contest Universities, and partnered with IARU to operate a w   
   rldwideÿBeaconÿsystem.   
   In 2017, so far, well over $200,000 has been granted to DXpeditions and other   
   projects.ÿÿÿBefore this, the highest calendar year grant total was $131,000 in   
   2005.   
   The NCDXF Board of Directors wants to thank our generous donors who ultimately   
   deserve credit for these grants over the past 45 years!ÿ You are the backbone   
   of NCDXF.ÿ   
   Our Cycle 25 Project is an endowment project for those wishing to leave behind   
   a legacy contribution for our hobby.ÿÿ Please consider NCDXF in your estate   
   planning.ÿÿ The earnings of theÿCycle 25 Projectÿfund will be used to help   
   support future    
   DXpeditions.   
   And as the end of the year approaches, please consider a renewed contribution   
   to NCDXF.ÿÿÿ For those who file United States income tax returns,   
   contributions are tax-deductible, as NCDXF is a Section 501(c)(3) entity with   
   the IRS.ÿÿWith your continued    
   financial support, we'll continue to make DX happen for DXers worldwide.   
   Visit our website,ÿwww.ncdxf.org, for more information about our projects and   
   how you can help.   
   Thank you once again!   
   With warmest Holiday wishes,   
   The NCDXF Board of Directors
