We wish digital operators every success and lots of enjoyment.” We at True Blue DXers Club (TBDXC) applaud technical innovation, and we are glad that so many people have found a new avenue for their amateur radio passion. This is somewhat puzzling, as the “about” section of the website states, right at the beginning, that: “We are not against anything, or anybody. Together with such warm reception by DX enthusiasts, this initiative has triggered some controversy. Practically, the aim of the Club is to a) to promote the use of radiotelegraphy (CW) and radiotelephony (SSB) in long-distance communications on the amateur bands and b) to encourage the continuous improvement and refinement of the human, personal skills needed to do so. Given the level of enthusiasm the Club has triggered in only its first week of existence, this is obviously not the case. The Club was created to bring together like-minded Amateurs who may feel that their ethos and approach to DX communication is dying off in the wake of the “digital revolution” brought about by FT8. This, by any standard, can be seen as an almost extraordinary success.

The 2023 iteration of the Dodgers aren’t 15 games worse than last season, but San Diego has made moves to be competitive with the Dodgers and challenge them for the NL West division title. There’s a lot to look forward to and the upside is high, but the ride to October will be bumpier than Los Angeles has been accustomed for the last four years. Two rookies (Miguel Vargas, James Outman) will be in the lineup on most days, and another (Ryan Pepiot) will be in the rotation for probably the first month or so. It’s a transition year for the Dodgers, but that doesn’t necessarily make it bad. Martinez will be in the top two at their positions in NL All-Star voting when the first results are announced. The Dodgers will start slowly, hovering around. Expect the Giants and D-Backs to be tough outs, with one of them making the playoffs, in what will be the best division in the National League. Michael ElizondoĪ competitive NL West will go down to the wire with the Padres and Dodgers fighting for the top seed in the National League, but at the end of the day, the Dodgers’ depth will be the difference maker. Gavin Stone makes his debut in my presence in Baltimore. I attend every game that I anticipated on the schedule. Some names that spring to mind are Tarik Skubal, Jesús Luzardo and Freddy Peralta. I think at the deadline we see the Dodgers try to target a controllable young starting pitcher. This team’s rotation is honestly a red flag when evaluating the team.

The Dodgers didn’t replace a 6.3-WAR player last season in Trea Turner, and his replacement Gavin Lux is done for the year. The Padres are simply too good and for my money one of the top two teams in the NL.

After setting a franchise record with 111 wins last year, and with four 100-win seasons in the last six seasons, there’s a little more uncertainty to how the Dodgers will finish this year.
