| Q1. What will the wx likely be
during the Convention?
Typically our mid-summer weather is not unlike that of other cities
on the West Coast of North America. You can expect daytime temperatures
in the 20 to 26 degree Celsius range -- or about 68 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Given our close proximity to the Pacific Ocean, there is the possibility
of rain in summer months -- but you'll be inside so who cares. UP

| Q2. How can I register for the
Convention?
Go to the Registration page and
follow the simple instructions. UP
|
| Q3. Will there be a (non-ham)
spousal activity program during the Convention?
At this point we have not planned any bus trips, tours or (non-ham)
spousal events. If there was an expression of interest to do so, the
organizing committee would consider the opportunity and advise all interested
parties in advance of the Convention. UP
|
| Q4. Is the area surrounding the
hotel a safe environment?
Surrounding the Convention hotel is a
major shopping complex compete with restaurants, theatres and enclosed
access to the elevated rapid transit system. Our visitors should feel
safe in their environment and take all the usual precautions you would
exercise in your own home town. Unfortunately like other cities,
Vancouver does have some folks that aren't likely to be nominated for
the citizen-of-the-year award. UP

| Q5. Will there be a DXCC card
checking opportunity?
We are working on this process and would like to offer the service to

the Convention Co-Chair. In so doing, we'll have a better idea of the
demand for the program and be able to plan accordingly. You can also
refer back to our DXCC webpage for updates. UP
(If we have enough people wanting cards checked, we will provide this
service)

DX2006?
DX2006 is all about DX -- plain and simple! If it has to do with DX,

lengths we'll go to in living up to that statement! UP
