This  year for the first time at the International DX Convention (IDXC)  
in  Visalia, NCCC is sponsoring a Contesting seminar, which we've  
chosen  to name:  "Contest Academy".

The name "Contest Academy" was chosen  so it would not conflict with or  
be confused  with Contest  University (CU).  However, the founder of  
CU, Tim Duffy (K3LR)  happens to be attending the Visalia Convention,  
and I've invited him  to make a few supportive introductory comments.

Inspired by a strong  growing interest in Contesting at IDXC, NCCC is  
honored to provide  what we hope will be a valuable learning experience  
for  attendees.  Our primary goal is to cover the basics of Contesting,   
drawing from NCCC's 38-year reputation as a recognized participant  and  
leader in amateur radio Contesting.

We have selected  program topics which hopefully will be of interest to  
all  participants.  Since we want to be "commercially impartial", NCCC   
is the sole sponsor of Contest Academy.

Contest Academy will be  held on Friday, April 17, 2009 from 1:00 to  
5:00 PM.  The cost  is $10, which includes a Contest Resource Kit.

You can read more about  CA on the IDXC website here:

NCCC is honored to be selected to  provide this first contesting  
seminar as part of the 2009 IDXC  program.  If successful, we hope that  
this topic and NCCC will  become an integral part of future IDXC  
conventions, to help bring  DXing and Contesting closer together.

73, John  K6MM
