The venue for the event was the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown Hotel -- yes this is the same location as the last convention.  

If you're truly keen about ham radio, you will not want to miss this Convention!

The BCDX Club takes pleasure in announcing Bob, K4UEE as our keynote speaker

The BCDX Club is pleased to announce that Bob Allphin, K4UEE is confirmed as our keynote speaker.  Headlining a terrific line up of presentation speakers, Bob's DX credits are too vast to mention, but the highly successful 3Y0X expedition to Peter One Island is his most recent endeavor.

Bob is an engaging speaker and will captivate the audience with his most recent exploits in the Antarctic.

If you are an active DX'er or contester, Bob is in your log many times. Why not thank him in person?

Bob, K4UEE has visited eighty DXCC entities and operated from forty.  He has participated in twenty-five DXpeditions, including six involving "Top 10" DXCC entities, i.e. Howland Island, Heard Island, Bhutan, Kingman Reef, the South Sandwich Islands and South Georgia Island.  He has been an operator on three of the top seven DXpeditions with the highest QSO totals.  In addition, Bob has the honor of having participated in five "DXpeditions of the Year".

Bob is also an active contester and has been involved in twenty-two contest DXpeditions.  Six of these efforts resulted in new World Records.  Further evidence of this operating skill was his participation as a competitor in the 1996 and 2000 WRTC (the Amateur Radio Olympics of Contesting).

K4UEE is a member of the ARRL DX Advisory Committee (DXAC) representing the Southeastern Division, and is a member of the CQ DX hall of Fame. But probably most important, Bob has been a mentor to dozens of DX'ers and DXpeditioners over the years.  He has become a role model for many in the sport of DX'ing
