The Lone Star DX Association (LSDXA) is pleased to sponsor the 2009 W5DXCC programs and DX Dinner in conjunction with Ham-Com on June 12-13th, in Plano, Texas.

The DX Dinner will be Friday evening, June 12th, at the Plano Centre in the Windhaven Room. The evening will begin with a cash hospitality bar in the Plano Centre from 5:00 to 6:30 PM.

Dinner activities will begin promptly at 6:30 PM.
Dinner will be Char-Broil Prime Rib with salad, rolls, baked potato, seasoned vegetables, and cheesecake for desert.
A vegetarian option will be available upon request.

The DX dinner program will be the 2009 KP5 Desecheo DXpedition (www.kp5.us). On October 1, 2008, the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) selected the KP1-5 Project team led by K4UEE and W0GJ to be the first USFWS-approved DXpedition to Desecheo Island in fifteen years.

DXpedition co-leader Bob Allphin, K4UEE, will present what promises to be a very interesting program.
