[CQ-Contest] Announcing 2018 Dayton Contest University - celebrating 12 years

[Tim Duffy K3LR]

I am proud to announce that student registration is now open for 2018 Dayton
ConTest University ("CTU") to be held all day on Thursday May 17, 2018 at
the Crowne Plaza in Dayton, Ohio. http://contestuniversity.com
This is the day before Hamvention opens in Xenia, Ohio

Eight different countries have hosted CTUs over the twelve years. USA,
Australia, Russia, Germany, Italy, England, Brazil and Finland. Over 7000
students have attended these CTUs with more than 100 CTU Professors sharing
their contesting experiences.

2018 will be the twelfth year in a row for CTU Dayton. To give you an idea
of the quality of the CTU content and activities you can see videos and PDFs
from past CTUs on the CTU web site at http://contestuniversity.com

The 2018 CTU Professor line up will be outstanding and is being finalized.
Check the CTU website often for the 2018 Professor updates. Each
presentation is carefully prepared with up to date information.

There are scholarships (registration fee paid) available from CTU through a
grant from the Northern California DX Foundation (NCDXF) for those students
25 years old and younger. Please use the "contact us" button on the CTU
website to get more information.

2018 Student registration information is on the CTU web site

CTU registration makes a great Christmas gift!

Important - as we did last year - if you want to sign up for CTU 2018 Dayton
and you have given (or will give one by Hamvention 2018) a talk about
Amateur Radio to any club, Hamfest or group since May 17, 2017 - you qualify
for a $10.00 registration fee discount. Please choose the "Registration with
Club talk discount" option to get the $10.00 discount. Spreading the word
about amateur radio is lots of fun and can save you money at CTU!

Thanks to all of the CTU sponsors including Icom America, DX Engineering,
the Northern California DX Foundation, YASME, the Radio Club of America and
CQ Magazine for making CTU possible. Thanks to K8MNJ and K1SO for all of
their help with CTU. Special thanks to Scott, KA9FOX from QTH.com for
hosting and constructing the CTU headquarters web site. 

CU in Dayton at CTU 2018 and Merry Christmas,
Tim K3LR 
Contest University Chairman
