To Southern California Contest Club:
Dear Fellow DX-ers and Contesters,

You are cordially invited to the Asia Pacific DX Convention 2014, which will take place November 14-16, 2014.

In addition to our usual presentations on recent DX-peditions, technical sessions, DX dinners and so forth, this convention offers something special. Japan is where most of the amateur radio equipment is developed, and you will have the opportunity to join a tour to the Icom factory, participate in a technical session led by the Icom HF radio design team, and more.

All of the programs at APDXC are conducted in English! For more details, please visit the APDXC website. For convention updates, check our website often, or send an email to subscribe to the APDXC newsletter: mail@apdxc.org.

We look forward to welcoming you at the APDXC in Osaka, Japan. - APDXC Committee / JA3USA

The 9K2HN Contest History - Hamad Alnusif 9K2HN

July 2014

My name is Hamad Alnusif, I am Chairman of the Kuwait Amateur Radio Society (KARS) and my ham radio callsign is 9K2HN. I got started with ham radio in 1992 when I had a very small station located in Kuwait City at the age of 16 years.

After a few years I became interested in contesting and I started the journey to build up my station year after year.

In 2010 I realized that I would not be able to have the station of my dreams in the city, so I started building a new contest station from scratch in the northern part of Kuwait.

At the moment our station can run as Multi/Multi with 6 stations running at the same time and there is a future plan to expand it further to have a Multiplier station added. more
