Ham Radio Operators with HT units are needed to help with the July 24th Parade. This gets you close to the parade and lets you do some valuable community service.

The organizers of DX University (tm) are pleased to announce that the next session of DXU will be held at Ruby's Inn in beautiful Bryce Canyon, UT. The session will be held on Friday, July 27, 2012 in conjunction with the 2012 ARRL Rocky Mountain Division Convention.

Professors selected from the faculty of DXU will present information targeted at the beginner through intermediate DXer, but the seasoned DXer will be surprised at the number of tips and tricks he/she will learn.
