[Nodxa] NODXA CQWW DX SSB Pre-Contest Luncheon (Updated)

[Tedd Mirgliotta (KB8NW)]

This is the "final" update on the Northern Ohio DX Association (NODXA)
"Pre-Contest Luncheon" (CQWW DX SSB Contest) which is only 1 day away.
I need to turn in a head count on Tuesday, the 24th. I forgot to mention
that the luncheon will be held in Buffalo Wild Wings large back room.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I am please to announce that well-known Contester Tim Duffy, K3LR,
will be providing the attendees with a "short talk". I am totally not
sure what the talk will be about -- possibly about DX Engineering,
maybe some tips on the contest or details on the new HamVention site.
Whatever it is I am sure it will be interesting......

PLEASE NOTE: Goose, W8AV, states, "I will be there.  Please note that
I will be able to check DXCC cards at the luncheon as well, so if you
have a card submission you want to make, please bring it and the cards
along.  I strongly suggest that you fill out the "online DXCC application"
which makes things easier for me and the DXCC Desk."

                       The Northern Ohio DX Association
                       CQWW DX SSB Pre-Contest Luncheon 

 Northern Ohio DX Association (NODXA) is proud to announce their annual 
"Pre-Contest Luncheon" for the CQWW DX SSB Contest. All are invited, not 
just NODXA members. The luncheon will take place at 12:30 PM on Wednesday, 
October 26th, at: 
                   Buffalo Wild Wings 
                   8465 Pearl Road (R42) 
                   Strongsville, Ohio 4413 
 Easy to get to -- Take west R42 exit off of I-71. The restaurant is about 
                   1 miles south on R42 exiting I-71 
                -- The restaurant is on the east side of the street and 
                   Walmart and Home Depot is behind the restaurant..... 

 Attendees will be ordering luncheon off the menu. The restaurant has a 
variety of different foods -- daily luncheon specials, great burgers, salads, 
wraps, wings....etc. (typical bar food). 
 The purpose of the Luncheon is to relax, have a good luncheon (along with 
some spirits), enjoy the camaraderie with Contester/DXers, as well as 
sharing your thoughts/strategies for the upcoming contest...... 

 THIS IS IMPORTANT! "Please" let me know if you are coming. I need a head 
count for the restaurant and I need it before Monday, October 24th. I will 
announce in the coming weeks who will be attending. We usually have 20 
attendees, so let's hope for another great turn out. 
           See you there.... 73, de Tedd KB8NW (NODXA President)
