Hi Guys,

Anyone interested in HF DXing and contesting?

As most of you know, this weekend in the CQ World Wide Phone contest.  This is the world series of amateur radio contests that focuses on DX!  This is the the best opportunity to introduce many newer hams and prospective members to DXing and contests, that I can think of.

Therefore... I will be opening the SFDXA club station, K4FK, to folks that are interested in finding out more about contesting and DXing.  I will be at the club station, along with Rich WB4EHG, on Saturday 2:00PM to 6:00PM.

Anyone interested is welcome to drop in and see what it's all about.  We will talk about propagation, contesting strategy, DXing points, DXCC, antennas, and any subjects of interest.

The club station is located at:

Florida Medical Center
5000 W Oakland Park Blvd
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33313

Come into the main entrance.  You will have to provide photo ID and the security gal at the front desk will give you a sticker to wear.  Call me at 954-806-3699 and myself or someone in the shack will come down to get you.

If you want to make some contacts with your call, bring your logging laptop (or we can supply pen and paper) to log your contacts.  As always, using your call requires you to follow any band restrictions based on your license.

I'm certain that it will be enlightening and fun.

As of this email, we have 5 or so interested.  I look forward to seeing you all there!

Please call me if you have any questions.

Very 73,
Randy N4QV
President SFDXA
