Dear fellow Contesters / DXers!

Contest Club Finland (CCF) gladly once again calls all the contesters / DXers around the whole contesting / DXing world to come and join the great contesting / DXing company and atmosphere in the CCF's 9th annual Contest / DX meeting, held on 16-18th January, 2004.

Please *BOOK NOW* the third weekend of January 2004, the weekend just before CQ 160m CW, for visiting this great and unforgettable contest / DX event!

Interesting contesting / DXing related presentations are to be included to the agenda.

Just DON'T MISS this meeting!

Come and enjoy the great contest / DX related presentations by world top class contesters / DXers, not to mention the excellent rag-chewing company of all the fellows so familiar to you from all those big pile-ups! In the previous meetings we have had already 40+ foreign visitors from CT, DL, ES, G, HA, JA, LA, OZ, UA, SM, W, YL and ZS etc., not to forget the 100+ OH/OH0 contesters / DXers!

The meeting starts with an enjoyable "gettogether" on Friday evening. Saturday will be our day of presentations, and when Saturday evening arrives - it's "party time"! Sunday is more or less the day of getting back home, but we try to arrange e.g. some local sight-seeing tours for those with less tight time-schedules.
