May 16, 2009 - The DX dinner is SOLD OUT! The Lone Star DX Association dinner will host 200 at the Plano Centre the evening of June 12, 2009.
The Lone Star DX Association is pleased to sponsor the 2009 W5DXCC DX Dinner in conjunction with Ham-Com. The dinner will be Friday evening, June 12, at the Plano Centre in the Windhaven Room. This is the same location as 2007.
The evening will begin with a cash hospitality bar in the Plano Centre from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. Dinner activities will begin promptly at 6:30 p.m.
This year we will have a served meal of char-broil prime rib with salad, rolls, baked potato, seasoned vegetables, and cheesecake for desert. A vegetarian option will be available upon request. Reserved seating for groups will be available. Please email requests for group seating and/or the vegetarian option to n5ty <at> arrl <dot> net.
The DX dinner program for the 2009 W5DXCC will be the 2009 KP5 Desecheo DXpedition, www.kp5.us. Desecheo is very rare being the sixth most-needed DXCC entity worldwide. On October 1, 2008, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) selected the KP1-5 Project team led by K4UEE and W0GJ to be the first USFWS-approved DXpedition to Desecheo Island in fifteen years. DXpedition co-leader Bob Allphin, K4UEE, will present what promises to be a very interesting program.
Ticket price is $40 and can be purchased via the "Admission" link on the Ham-Com website, www.hamcom.org. Because of the banquet room capacity, a maximum of 200 tickets will be sold. Tickets must be ordered before midnight, May 30 and can be picked up at the Lone Star DX Association booth prior to the event.
W5DXCC is proud to announce our major prize will be an FT-2000 donated by Yaesu. A special thanks to Dennis Motschenbacher, K7BV, Executive VP, Yaesu Amateur Radio Sales & Marketing for making this possible. The FT-2000 will be given away at the W5DXCC DX dinner.
