Risto Vähäkainu Dear friends, at the end of January 2020 I sent out a list of coming SW and DX meetings of this year. At that time the corona virus was already active in China, but no one had a real clue of how big an effect it would have in the everyday life in the whole world. Now in mid-March we know of that and everybody is aware that travelling as well as having sports events, art events or meetings is quite restricted. Many of the meetings mentioned on the list have already been cancelled or postponed. Today we don't have an idea how long this exceptional time will last and when we'll be able to return to normal (or even nearly normal) duties and actions. I enclose a copy of the list. There are a couple of amendments and updates (that came up before the Corona virus crisis escalated). But I'm sure everybody will check the current details of the planned meetings on the websites to have up-to-date information. Hoping for better conference year 2021! 73 Risto Vähäkainu The Finnish DX Association Shortwave Radio Meetings – 2020 Date: February 13 Description: UNESCO World Radio Day Dates: February 27-29 Location: Plymouth Meeting (near Philadelphia), PA, USA Description: Winter SWL Fest More info: swlfest dot com Expected attendance: 150 Date: March 7 Location: Reading International Solidarity Centre (RISC), 35-39 London Street, Reading RG1 4PS, England Organization: Reading International Radio Group Expected attendance: 20 More info: bdxc dot org dot uk, Barraclough.mike at gmail.com Note: Reading DX meetings are held with about 2 months interval (next one on May 16th) Dates: March 29-31 Location: Lisbon, Portugal Description: Radiodays Europe 2020 -conference More info: radiodayseurope dot com Dates: May 9-10 Location: Jönköping, Sweden Description: DX-Parlamentet 2020, the annual meeting of the SDXF together with the meeting of Arctic Radio Club (a club specialized in MW DXing) Organization: The Swedish DX-Federation (SDXF) More info: sdxf dot se Dates: May 14-15 Location: Birmingham, Alabama, USA Description: Annual NASB Conference, hosted by EWTN / WEWN Organization: National Association of Shortwave Broadcasters More info: shortwave dot org Dates: May 15-17 Location: Dayton, Ohio, USA Organization: Dayton Hamvention Expected attendance: 20000 More info: hamvention dot org Dates: June 26-28 Location: Friedrichshafen, Germany Description: Ham Radio, biggest annual hamfest in Europe Expected attendance: 20000 More info: hamradio-friedrichshafen dot com Dates: July 11-25 Location: Döbriach, Austria Description: DX-Camp of ADXB-OE More info: dxcamp dot org Dates: July 31-August 1 Pachuca Hidalgo, Mexico Description: 26th Annual Mexican DX Meeting More info: Martin Herrera Jimenez, mnhajz65 at gmail.com or Facebook Dates: August 7-9 Location: Riihimäki, Southern Finland Description: The annual summer meeting of the Finnish DX Association Expected attendance: 100 More info: sdxl dot fi, rv at sdxl.org Date: August 22 Location: The Netherland Description: BBQ Summer Meeting Organizer: Misti-Radio (NL) More info: misty dot shortwave at gmail dot com Dates: September 4-9 Location: Berlin, Germany Name: IFA Internationale Funkausstellung Description: Consumer Electronics Fair - Including Radios More info: b2b dot ifa-berlin dot com Dates: September 10-12 Location: Anaheim, California, USA Description: IRCA Convention More info: iraconline dot org Dates: September 11-13 Location: Bucharest, Romania Description: European DX Conference Organization: European DX Council Expected attendance: 50 More info: edxc dot org Dates: September 11-15 Location: Amsterdam, Holland Decsription: IBC 2020, conference and exhibition More info: show dot ibc dot org Dates: October 31-November 1 Location: Tokyo, Japan Description: Big ham fair with a SW sector (Japan SW Club stand & lectures) Organization: Tokyo HAM Fair sponsored by JARL Expected attendance: 30000 More info: ohtaket at live.jp Note: Due to Olympic Games in Tokyo this event is scheduled later than usual Dates: November 21-22 Location: Kerala, India Description: Ham Fest India 2020 More info: hfi2020 dot com _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
