Topband: VISALIA TOP BAND DINNER RECAP

[Steve Lawrence]

The Top Band Dinner at the Visalia DX Convention was held Friday,  
April 17, 2009. The dinner was sold out minus a few no-shows. Many won  
some very nice door prizes.

Kudos to Glenn, WØGJ, for a very interesting and engaging presentation  
on the recent operation on 160m from Desecheo, K5D.

A nice surprise was that George, AA7JV, sent a summary of his and  
Tomi's, HA7RY, low band emphasized operation from VK9GMW, which I was  
able to share with all in attendance. Thanks George! Safe travels guys!

I also want to thank all of the great people and companies that  
supported the dinner with their very generous donations of door  
prizes. They are:
