DX Convention 2021
Organizers are announcing the “Visalia” International DX & Contesting Convention, IDXCC and “a choice of two Vs.” The challenge, looking ahead to 2021, is whether to have an in-person convention or a “virtual” one, hoping for the normal face-to-face meeting and asking themselves “What will our ‘new normal’ be like by next April?” and “Can we guarantee a covid-free environment for our attendees?” They have consulted with medical experts, epidemiologists and long-time attendees and have decided it will be virtual next year, spanning two weekends in April.
Part 1, April 16-18 and part 2, April 23-25. Each will be “a unique 3-day event,” without duplication. Registration will be in early 2021, registration dates to be announced.
The new name, IDXCC, the International DX & Contesting Convention, “more accurately reflects what the convention has actually become over the years; a gathering of both avid DXers and contesters from around the world.”
There will be forums, technical talks, Dxpedition reports, awards, etc. There will be a contest academy, DX University, and hands-on demos, webinars by exhibitors and special guests, a chaotic “eyeball QSO hour,” “dinners without dinner,” the dinners for IOTA, “topband,” and contesting, “creative QSL card checking,” “great raffle prizes,” and “lasting memories.
They summarize that “Whether you’re an old-timer or newcomer, you can have a safe, front-row seat at the first-ever virtual DX and contesting convention next April without leaving your QTH.” Sponsored by the Northern California
