    South West Ohio DX Association - News

    The South West Ohio DX Association (SWODXA) is pleased to announce that we will again sponsor the DX Dinner, held in conjunction with the 2018 Dayton Hamvention®. This, our 33rd annual dinner, will be on Friday, May 18, 2018, at the Dayton Marriott, 1414 S. Patterson Blvd., Dayton, OH 45409.
    Among other great prizes, Yaesu has generously donated an FT DX-3000 to the DX Dinner and an FT-DX1200 to the DX forum!

    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 on the ground floor so there are no steps, the dining room is very large, and there is ample free, on-site parking.

    This dinner is always well attended by some of the most avid DXers in the world. The 2017 dinner 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®”.

    We have started accepting ticket requests via the website! Details can be found on the SWODXA Events website www.swodxaevents.org. From there, click on the “Purchase Tickets Today!” banner. We prefer Paypal, but you can also print the reservation form and submit it with your personal check or money order.

    Program details and a list of the prizes will be on the website as they become available and updates will be sent out regularly via Twitter.

          Press Release

          SWODXA DX DINNER® ANNOUNCEMENT

          March 9th, 2020
          Mike Suhar – W8RKO

          FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

          The SouthWest Ohio DX Association (SWODXA) has announced that Debbie Anderson will be the key note speaker at the 35th annual DX Dinner®. The dinner, held in conjunction with the 2020 Dayton Hamvention®, will be on Friday, May 15th, at the Marriott Hotel in Dayton.

          Debbie Anderson, only child of Joseph and Dorothy Desch, grew up feeling that her family was unusual. Her father, engineer at NCR for 34 years, often mentioned events during WW2, before she was born. When asked about WW2, however, Mr. Desch would stall or quickly change the topic. After his death in 1987 Debbie began a slow but steady search for information about her father’s wartime work. Slowly the story of war time code breaking was uncovered—specifically, reading German communications hidden in the Enigma cipher.

          She’s been speaking on this topic since 1990. She also maintains a web site on the Dayton code breaking story and was associate producer of a documentary Dayton Code breakers which has played on American Public Television since 2006.
