 The W4DXCC DX and Contest Convention located in Pigeon Forge, TN starts September 25 and 26.  This is our 11th year and it will be another great event. The presentation schedule is full and packed with presentations.  Our manufacturers are located in the lobby right outside of the conference hall allowing you easy access to all the gear.  Come and have a one on one conversation with the manufacturers and twist the knobs. This year for the first time we have the Ham Radio Bootcamp on Friday before the convention.  The Ham Radio Bootcamp is an all day session that will help the new amateur learn how to build a station, build antennas, make QSOs and log them and after lunch learn how to DX, How to Contest and learn some tricks for DXing.  This is the Elmer you never had to help you get started right.  This session is sure to be of use to every Ham. We will conduct Amateur FCC License testing.  It's a great time to upgrade or get your spouse or friends licensed. Pigeon Forge is a wonderful place for the family too, bring the family and they can enjoy the local attractions while you enjoy the convention. W4DXCC Convention 2015 I hope to see everyone at the convention, 73 Dave Anderson, K4SV828-777-5088
