1999 MDXA Dinner Banquet

The MDXA dinner was held this year in Wiggins, MS. We had 47 adults and 3 children in attendance. A GOOD TIME was had by ALL.
A very interesting program was provided by Gary, W5FI on his DXpedition to Gilbraltar.
Entertainment was again provided by Helen and Dick Martin. They were great!
It was really nice to see Dr. Harold Luce and Paula visit our dinner and hope to have him as a member in the future.
It was great to have the gang from Jackson well represented by N5ZX,N5GH, KC5LK, and to Keith Luke W5AV.. We do NOT get to see them often enough. Maybe some of our members can make the Jackson Hamfest and get together again with them?
It was also great to see Lowell (W5NO)and Robin Otto. It was his first outing since having heart problems a little over a month ago...
We were glad to finally meet N5PA, Alan and his wife.. He joined the MDXA that night and am looking forward to him telling us all about his trip to 7Q land.. Maybe the January breakfast?
Without a doubt, I personally was glad to see so many of the Bureau sorters there.. I could NOT do this without their help! as well as the PRE SORTERS...
We welcomed 7 new members and wish they ALL could have been present..
Keith Luke won the DXCC countdown with 365 BIG ONES! When I asked, "How long you been DXing", Keith politely said "Before most of you folks were born!".....
We presented "Appreciation" plaques to the Bureau "helpers" that were present and also presented one to Ernie for his setting up and running the MDXA FIRST ever IOTA entry!
Bill Musa, K5YG, won the MDXA DXer of the Year award!
Hope to see y'all ALL soon!
Merry Christmas
