The 68th International DX Convention in Visalia, California is now history. The
Top Band Dinner was held on Friday, April 21, 2017. The dinner was attended by
145 deserving Top Banders.
Thanks to Glenn, WØGJ, for his outstanding presentation previewing the Bouvet
DXpedition to take place in early 2018. The team is anticipating putting
everyone’s call in the log with ‘round the clock multiband operation and plans
for a 3el beam on 160 as part of their extensive antenna farm. This will be the
most expensive DXpedition ever at roughly $750,000 USD, the vast majority going
of funds going towards safe transportation to and from this most remote and
highly in demand DXCC entity. Half of the funding is coming from the very
unselfish crew themselves.
They still need your support. Any contribution large or small will be greatly
appreciated. Do it now at:

In addition to Glenn’s presentation, I had the privilege of describing my
experiences chasing 160m DXCC from a small West Coast city lot.
This year's dinner was supported by the manufacturers, vendors and
organizations, listed below, who generously donated door prizes that
significantly contributed to the dinner's overall success.
THANK YOU!
73! Steve WB6RSE
