> Greetings fellow DXers.  It's time we here in zero land get together.
>
> Why don't we hold  a W0DXCC convention patterned after the W9DXCC
> convention held annually in September in Chicago.
>
> The venue would be Omaha, NE which would be mutually inconvenient to
> everyone.....even  to those Dxers in the Omaha area due to the constant
> construction on I-80. <G> :)
>
> The tentative dates would be Friday September 13 for a dinner banquet,
> hospitality room etc. and Saturday September 14 st for the DX forums.  Or
> if travel would be better we could do a Saturday 14th -Sunday  15th
> meeting.  Whatever you prefer.
>
> I'll do all the work of putting it together, making hotel and banquet
> reservations, getting out the mailings, trying to arrange the forums,
> emceeing the event, etc.
>
> What you will need to do is get people from your club to attend.  Our
> critical number is 100.  Below that number it is not worth the effort.
>
> The W9DXCC charges  $55 for the full convention and banquet or  $30
> for  just the convention.  Based upon my prior experience in holding
> seminars for the bar association (no....not that kind of "bar"  :) ) I
> would anticipate that the costs would run approximately the same.

> Are you guys interested?  If so, give me your thoughts and the approximate
> number of members you can plead, beg and threaten into attending.
>
> Also....would the KCDXC be interested in hosting a hospitality suite?  I
> attended their suite  at the Dayton Hamvention and they really do know how
> to host a suite (or is it hoist a beer??)
>
> At the Midwest Convention I discussed this concept with our Vice Director,
> Bruce K0BJ and he seemed excited about the idea and promised to get all 3
> of the Dxers in Kansas to attend (2 of whom  have proudly achieved
> DXCC.)  Did I get that right Bruce?
>
> Wade, W0EJ, our honorable ARRL Director,  promised to get the Eastern Iowa
> DX Association to attend.  This would normally be a plus.....but you don't
> know the EIDXA.  They have been known to use the Collins antenna farm to
> work the P5 and seeing them en masse could be a frightening sight.
>
> Of course our club in Des Moines (the MMM) *   will be there in full force
> and will freely share our tips on how to work Scarborough IS, get a QSL
> from AbuBaker  and Monk Apolo , and make Ed P5 call YOU in the pileup.
>
> Let me know ASAP so that I have as much lead time as possible.
>
> Looking forward to hearing from you all.
