The 65th International DX Convention in Visalia, California April 4-6, 2014 is now history. The Top Band Dinner was held on Friday, April 4 with a record setting crowd in attendance. A special thanks goes to Craig Thompson, K9CT, for an excellent presentation: "A Tale of Two Islands — Wake and Amsterdam. Top Band Results, Comparisons and Contrasts.” Craig was part of the crew on both the K9W and FT5ZM DXpeditions. Craig’s extensive analysis of propagation effects was especially informative.
This year's Top Band dinner was supported by the manufacturers, vendors and organizations listed below who generously donated door prizes that significantly contributed to the dinner's overall success.
