The Finnish DX Association wishes you all good DX for 2017.
We also have the pleasure of inviting all DXers and shortwave listeners to
join the jubileum European DX Conference to be held in Tampere, Finland on 18-20
August 2017. It is time to celebrate, as this year is Finland's centennial and
The European DX Council will have its 50th anniversary. The meeting will be
organized by The Finnish DX Association (soon to be 60 years) and Tampereen
DX-Kuuntelijat (local DX club celebrating its 50th anniversary).
We will follow our tradition of successful EDXC conferences held in Finland
in 1971, 1987, 1992, 2002 and 2008. So it will be three days of lots of program,
lots of events and lots of fun.
We plan to open the website of this conference during January. The website
will be set to be a part of the FDXA website www.sdxl.fi and when the conference site is open,
a link "EDXC Conference 2017" will be found on the main page.
The conference will start on Friday afternoon 18th of August and end on
Sunday afternoon 20th of August. This time of summer is not anymore high-season
in Finland, so if you like, you should be able to book extra nights pretty
easily and with reasonable prices.
Also a post-conference tour is planned. This would last a few days and the
target would be Finnish Lapland including visits to the well-known LEM and AIH
DX sites and also possibly including a visit to Nordkapp (the northernmost point
of the European continent). If you are interested in joining this tour, please
don't make any flight bookings
yet.
The conference organizing committee has been set. The committee chairman is
Risto Vähäkainu. You are welcome to address your special questions to rv at sdxl
dot org.
Hoping to see many many of you in Tampere next summer!
