The 63nd International DX Convention in Visalia, California USA was held this 
past weekend, April 20-22, 2012. The Friday evening Top Band Dinner was once 
again sold out. A lot of calls were finally matched to faces!

Special thanks goes to Bob Allphin, K4UEE, for his outstanding presentation of 
"HKØNA, Top Band from Malpelo." The efforts of the entire team to activate this 
rare and logistically difficult DXCC entity on all bands and modes was truly 
extraordinary. They had over 5000 QSOs on Top Band.

"Congratulations to the team for breaking the record for most QSO's by a "tent 
and generator" DXpedition!  QSO total is 195,292."

The Top Band dinner was supported by the manufacturers and vendors listed below 
who generously donated door prizes that significantly contributed the dinner's 
overall success.
