town Dayton. Tim, K3LR, reports: UPDATE: After the 2019 Crowne Plaza

experience I conducted a thorough review of all available facilities

in the Dayton/Xenia area including several site visits. I also met

with key stake holders and they assure me that the security issues

with the Crowne have been dealt with. Local authorities have given

assurances that there will be improvements during our stay for 2020.

The adjoining parking garage work will be completed in time for our

arrival. Therefore contester activities will stay at the Crowne for

2020.

*** Contest University USA 2020 *** will be held in Dayton – all

day – at the Crowne Plaza on Thursday, May 14, 2020.

2020 RESERVATIONS at the Crowne Plaza Dayton open on Monday, September

16th, 2019, at 9 AM EDT. This is the Contest University room block. The

2020 rate is 149.00 USDs per night (same for single or double) plus

tax. If you stayed at the Crowne Plaza this past May (Dayton 2019)

and you filled out a 2020 Crowne Plaza hotel reservation form (left

under your door on check-out day) and then dropped it off at the Crowne

Plaza registration desk, then you should have or will get an email

confirmation (with a confirmation number) from the Crowne Plaza for

your 2020 Dayton reservation.

If you would like to make a reservation for Dayton 2020 – the

remaining Crowne Plaza rooms will be available for reservations

starting Monday, September 16, 2019, at 9:00 AM EDT (eastern USA time).

AM EDT on September 16, 2019. Your reservation can only be made starting

after 9:00 AM EDT on Monday, September 16, 2019 and only with the CON

Group Code.

You may also call the reservation line – use the special CON Group

Code – after 9:00 AM EDT on September 16, 2019. 1-800-689-5586 or

937-229-9853. As the phones get jammed – your BEST bet is to use the

website. I expect the Crowne Plaza hotel will sell out very very

quickly – so please plan your reservation submission accordingly.

VP6R PITCAIRN ISLAND DXPEDITION NEWS. On September 8th, the following was

posted by Ralph, K0IR, on the Pitcairn Island DXpedition 2019 FaceBook

page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/580069859103416) with pictures

[edited]: “The Braveheart arrived on Pitcairn Island on schedule on Sept.

6th. After waiting out a torrential rain, all our DXpedition gear was

unloaded and taken ashore by the Pitcairn Island longboats. Generators,

fuel, antennas and masts, Flex radios, ACOM amps, the DX Engineering 160

vertical, Yagis, —– everything. It’s all there, stored safe and dry

in the engineering building. When the roads dry out, all our gear will

be moved to our operating sites and be ready for us when we arrive in

October.

This process will save us 150 to 200 man hours of installation time

and get us on the air much faster.

Thank you Braveheart and Pitcairn Island crews!!”

XW, LAOS (Update). Per DX-World.net, Simon, G6JFY/HS0ZIB/XZ2A, has announced

that he has received his new callsign XW0LP (Suffix “LP” stands for Luang

Prabang, the town in north Laos where he now live). License is good for

one year as of October 1st, and is initially valid only for 20 meter band

operations. Simon states, “On 20 meters, I will be active every day,

mostly using FT8. My rig sits right next to my work desk, so I can keep

an eye on the band and answer calls as they are received. I WON’T use

Fox + Hounds mode on FT8, just simple, single mode. I operate my FT8

software manually so that I can select which call to reply to.” QSL via

ClubLog. NO BUREAU cards.
