[CQ-Contest] Announcing 2020 Dayton Contest University - celebrating 14 years

[Tim Duffy]

I am proud to announce that student registration is now open for the 2020
Dayton ConTest University ("CTU") to be held all day on Thursday May 14,
2020 at the Crowne Plaza in Dayton, Ohio. http://contestuniversity.com
This is the day before Hamvention opens in Xenia, Ohio

Registration opened on December 16, 2019 and already 50 contesters have
signed up!. Last year (2019 was a sell out with 350 attending).

Eight different countries have hosted CTUs over the past thirteen years.
USA, Australia, Russia, Germany, Italy, England, Brazil and Finland. Over
8500 students have attended these CTUs with more than 100 CTU Professors
sharing their contesting experiences.

2020 will be the 14th 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 2020 CTU Professor line up will be posted on the CTU website very soon.
Thanks to our returning professors NC0B, W0YK, K3LR, W3LPL, N6TV, W3YQ, N0AX
and K1DG. You will notice additional NEW professors for 2020 once the
posting is complete and posted. 

CTU professor stalwart Frank, W3LPL is back for CTU 2020 after his
sabbatical in 2019. Frank has taught many many sessions at CTU over the past
13 years.

The 2020 CTU Dayton course outline will be posted soon. Check the CTU
website for updates. Each presentation is carefully prepared with up to date
information.

There are scholarships (registration fee paid) available for 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.

2020 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 2020 Dayton
and you have given (or will give one by Hamvention 2020) a talk about
Amateur Radio to any club, Hamfest or group since May 14, 2019 - 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 2020 and Merry Christmas,
Tim K3LR 
Contest University Chairman
