The 2020 Dayton Hamvention has been cancelled, but Contest University 2020
is still on—online that is. Not only that, its free! It will take place at
the same time and on the same date—Thursday, May 14, 2020 at 9:00 am—as the
live event would have.

The sessions will be held via Zoom. The link will be available on May 7.

It looks like another great lineup of sessions:
8:45Â*Â*Welcome to CTU 2020 from W8CI, K3LR and N9JA
9:00Â*Â*W3LPL –Â* “Effective Low Band Receiving Antennasâ€�
10:00Â*W2NAF – “2020 Solar Cycle Update and the HF Response to Ionospheric
Storms and Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances�
11:00Â*N6TV – “Everything You Need to Know About USB and Serial Interfacesâ€�
12:00Â*Lunch on your own
12:25Â*K1AR – Memorial reading of the Silent Keys for 2020
12:30Â*NN1C – “Exuberance and Youth Contesting – Update on What is Going Onâ€�
1:00Â*W0YK – “Digital Contesting Hints & Kinksâ€�.
2:00Â*K1DG – “Optimizing your Station for Contest Operationsâ€�.
3:00Â*N0AX – “Grounding & Bonding for Contest Stationsâ€�
4:00Â*NC0B – “Contest & DX Performance A Complex Subject Today Great RX
Performance – TX Limitations�
5:00Â*W3LPL – “60 Years of Competitive Contesting — the W3LPL Storyâ€�
6:00Â*K3ZJ – Presentation of CQ Contest Hall Of Fame 2020

Im definitely planning on attending the grounding and bonding session, and
Ive got my eye on a couple others, especially after my experience in the
recent MI QSO Party.

By the way, the Contest University website contains a wealth of information
on DXing and contesting. It has links to files and videos of Contest
University presentations dating back to 2013.
