6th International DX Convention 2009
April 18th & 19th - Paestum (SA) Italy
Strange Radio Team Organization
The venerable archeological and tourist site of Paestum, south of Salerno in
Italy will receive all ham radio operator, and we are expecting, as usual for
this annual meeting, outstanding guests of international renown, and some very
important DXers and other highly competent ham radio personalities.
The meeting will be a convivial and a first-ever social affair, with great care
having been taken to choose the finest venues and hotels, with a Gala Evening
with some fine music and dancing.
The backdrop will be the golden sands and shady pine groves of Paestum, perfect
for optimal radio connections, a few minutes from the splendid Cilento and
Diano Valley National Park, the second largest in Italy an ideal place for a
few days of relaxation and gastronomical delights such as the typical
Mediterranean specialties of the famous water-buffalo mozzerella and nationally
renowned local species of artichokes.
The events will take place at the fine 4-star Best Western Hotel Esplanade
located barely 150 meters from the sea, with private beach and within short
distance of the archeological site with its National Archeological Museum. With
its big subtropical garden and swimming, it's a true oasis of peace. The hotel
is also ideally located for excursions to the Isle of Capri, Pompei, Padula,
the Pertosa Grotto and the Cilento Park.
