DXpedition University 2001
Learn the art and "How To" of DXpedition Planning and Running Pileups!

Envisioned some 10 years ago and after 2 years of writing the material, DX
University is now a reality.

DXpedition University ("DXU") is the first of its kind to provide a training
ground for energetic radio amateurs wanting to learn the foundational
methods and tactics of DXpeditioning.

A group of 6-10 hams will go to a proven site in Jamaica (6Y). Participants
become part of a team, just like the World Record 6Y2A Team. Learning begins
before the trip with planning procedures and continues through the Jamaica
stay. With expert hands-on training, team members will be shown the
essential skills needed to feel confident about venturing out on their own
DX-oriented vacations and in their ability to run and control pile-ups.
There is not only personal instruction, as hard copy manuals covering all
aspects are also included. Besides setting up a complete multiple
transmitter station and running DX pile-ups during the week, the team will
participate in the A.R.R.L. SSB contest, with additional pointers provided
real-time.

This is a learning environment and all questions will be answered and fully
explained. The Jamaican accommodations are radio-oriented (not a luxury
hotel) and include full time staff, transportation (private driver), plus
side trips during the week.

73, and hope to see you in Jamaica!
Kenny K2KW  & Tom N6BT
