DAYTON HAMVENTION NEWS (Press Release - SWODXA DX DINNER ANNOUNCEMENT).
Joe Pater, W8GEX, <W8GEX@aol.com>, dated April 30, 2012: "FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE -- The SOUTHWEST OHIO DX Association (SWODXA) wants to remind
everyone that the DX Dinner=99 is less than three weeks away. The dinner
will again be at the Dayton Marriott, 1414 S. Patterson Blvd., Dayton,
OH 45409 on Friday, May 18th. The cash bar opens at 5:30 p.m., with dinner
served at 7:00 p.m. Following the meal, there will be a separate room
and cash bar available for more fellowship. Ticket sales have been brisk,

list of door prizes, and the reservation order form can be found on the

DIGIFEST 2012. The annual "Digifest" will be held as usual on the 1st
full weekend of June (2012 dates are June 2nd and 3rd). This is going
to be Digifest's 5th year, and its popularity is growing with last year's
received LOGs number of more than 200. Peculiarity of this Contest is
the great variety of different categories of the participants in 5 digital
modes: RTTY 75, BPSK 63, MFSK 16, HELLSCHREIBER, OLIVIA and the most fair
points calculation based on the distance between the stations. The Contest
consists of 3 convenient periods (8 hours each) during the weekend. To add
more adrenalin into this competition a special feature will be offered to
those who like competing in real time =AD online results will be presented
on a server. And, of course, a lot of real nice prizes, mostly RigExpert
AA-230 and AA-30 Antenna Analyzers and RigExpert USB Interfaces. All prizes
sponsored by RigExpert Ukraine Ltd. Since the number of the participants
is relatively small and the most populated competing area is Europe, the
"far away" stations from NA, SA, Africa, Asia and Australia are at great
advantage. From the last year's experience those stations were the most
prize winners. Considering this and also to support growing participation
from Europe, the sponsors "double" the prizes =AD i.e. separate main prizes
are now available both for Europe and for the "rest of the World". But
wait, that's not all! For those of you who won't be able to win "main prize"
in respected category, there will be a lot of small gifts, like T-shirts
and paper awards. All the prizes will be mailed to participant's home
addresses. The results are usually available just 2 weeks after the end
of the Contest, So, let's just meet on the 1st weekend of June and have
fun! Complete rules can be found at:
