FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
The SouthWest Ohio DX Association (SWODXA) is pleased to announce that we will again sponsor the DX Dinner®, held in conjunction with the 2026 Dayton Hamvention®. Icom America will be the main corporate sponsor again this year.
This, our 39th annual dinner, will be Friday, May 15th, 2026, at The Marriott at the University of Dayton, 1414 S. Patterson Blvd., Dayton, OH 45409.
We will have another fantastic array of great prizes at the dinner and the Forum on Saturday!
There will be a cash bar starting at 5:30 p.m., with dinner served at 7:00. Following the event, there will be a separate room and cash bar available for more fellowship. This is an excellent opportunity to meet new hams and to renew old acquaintances as well as to learn about past DXpeditions and those in the planning stages.
The Marriott is very accommodating to a group our size. The dining room is very large and located on the ground floor so there are no steps and there is ample free, on-site parking.
This dinner is always well attended by some of the most avid DXers in the world. Previous dinners had over 400 attendees! As in the past, there will be some major door prizes, and there is always great anticipation as to who will be named the “DXpedition of the Year®” as well as who will be inducted in to the CQ DX Hall of Fame.
