Here are two reposts of Bob's, K4UEE, regarding a great event. I plan
on going....
Hal, N4GG
To all SEDXC and SECC members,
I was privileged to attend the inaugural meeting of SEDCO last
September and found it to be one of the most interesting and fun
get-togethers of the
year. The mix of DXing and Contesting is a wonderful idea and I highly
recommend you consider attending this year's event!
You will see a lot of old friends from around the South and meet
some
new ones too! Hope to see you there!
73, Bob
K4UEE

the

Current lineup of speakers (with more to be added):
Bob, K4UEE, co-leader of Peter One DXpedition 2006 telling the story and
adding some surprises too.
Wonder where he?s going next???
Dave, K4SV, of CE?Z telling us an incredible story with sidebars. Dave
is a
wonderful DXpeditioner,
Elmer and speaker. This is a must.
Rick, NQ4I, on his super contest station and some VERY interesting
stories! Joe, AA4NN, telling us about his VU4 Andaman trip. Joe is
sponsored by the
great DX operators of the
Carolina DX Association who have taken a leadership role in SEDCO II
2006.
Come out and meet some of the
very best DX operators in the world from CDXA.
The W1AW/4 saga by the Tennessee Contest Group in the recent IARU
contest.
The logistics for a
state wide operation was monumental and unbelievable.
Joe, W8GEX, will be telling the story of CY?AA and Montenegro, 4O6DX.
This is
worth the trip to
Pigeon Forge. They have a stateside QSL mgr too, K8LEE!
There is another program from a giant contest leader in this country,
but the
final word is being worked
out, so it remains a surprise until later. Every contester NEEDS to hear
this
?winner?.
Gary, K4MQG, and Don, W4TO, will again be checking cards for DXCC.
