April 18th & 19th - Paestum (SA) Italy
Strange Radio Team Organization




The venerable archeological and tourist site of Paestum, south of Salerno in 
Italy will receive all ham radio operator, and we are expecting, as usual 
for this annual meeting, outstanding guests of international renown, and 
some very important DXers and other highly competent ham radio 
personalities.
The meeting will be a convivial and a first-ever social affair, with great 
care having been taken to choose the finest venues and hotels, with a Gala 
Evening with some fine music and dancing.


The backdrop will be the golden sands and shady pine groves of Paestum, 
perfect for optimal radio connections, a few minutes from the splendid 
Cilento and Diano Valley National Park, the second largest in Italy an ideal 
place for a few days of relaxation and gastronomical delights such as the 
typical Mediterranean specialties of the famous water-buffalo mozzerella and 
nationally renowned local species of artichokes.
The events will take place at the fine 4-star Best Western Hotel Esplanade 
located barely 150 meters from the sea, with private beach and within short 
distance of the archeological site with its National Archeological Museum. 
With its big subtropical garden and swimming, it's a true oasis of peace. 
The hotel is also ideally located for excursions to the Isle of Capri, 
Pompei, Padula, the Pertosa Grotto and the Cilento Park.
