PNW DX Convention in Portland this August
The 70th Annual Pacific Northwest DX Convention, hosted by the Willamette Valley DX Club, is coming August 15-17, 2025. The convention will be located at the Monarch Hotel in Portland, OR. By August the hotel will be renamed to the Hilton Garden Inn, but it's the same location used before.
The line-up includes an excellent group of speakers, door prizes, and in-person DXCC card checking. Plus, remember Oregon has no sales tax -- a perfect reason to visit the Portland HRO store.
