David Collingham, K3LP, President of the historic and famous US club NCDXA, recently wrote to our editorial staff to let us know of the important event organized by the club coming up on 25 August in Frederick, Maryland(USA).
At this moment there is a special spirit which drives the noble members of the NCDXA (National Capitol DX Association) founded in 1972.
Following a long history of conventions held from 1974 to 1992, this year foreshadows the restoration of this annual event on the east coast of the United States. The 2012 DXCC-East Convention will give way to those special moments in the presence of noted DXers, with the participation of the American Radio Relay League.
Other information and particulars are immediately available at the club’s website: http://www.dxcceast.com/index.html
We wish all the best to our friends from the NCDXA from the editorial staff of DxCoffee.

Your selfless contributions and sponsorship of DX-peditions since 1995 has resulted in over 1 Million QSOs being logged world-wide with the rarest of the rarest DX locations.
