The 62nd International DX Convention in Visalia, California USA was held this past weekend, April 15-17, 2011. The Friday evening Top Band Dinner was once again sold out. A lot of faces were finally matched to calls!
Special thanks goes to Ned Stearns, AA7A, for his outstanding presentation of "The VooDoo Contest Group: The Low Bands from West Africa." Ned's presentation really put a face on the Qs that many of us have logged as new ones directly as a result of the extraordinary efforts of the VooDoo Contest Group. The dinner was supported by the manufacturers and vendors listed below who generously donated door prizes and significantly contributed the dinner's overall success. 73!
