Welcome!
The 64th Annual International DX Convention sponsored by the Northern California DX Club will be held at the Visalia Conference Center in downtown Visalia, California from April 19-21, 2013.

We are excited about this change.  The beautiful Visalia Convention Center, will provide us with many advantages for the 2013 meeting.  The Convention Center has 17 meeting rooms and 2 Board Rooms, which will allow us to put together several concurrent presentations.  They can easily handle 80 to 100 Vendors in their Exhibit Hall, as well as a banquet for 900 attendees.  Any vendor wishing to Exhibit at IDXC 2013 will be guaranteed a space.  Anyone wishing to attend the Saturday evening banquet will be guaranteed a seat.

There is ample free parking in the area.  For a small daily fee, RV visitors will be able to park in a special section in the parking lot.  Food and beverage needs will be catered by the recently remodeled Marriott Hotel, which is the host hotel immediately adjacent to the Convention Center.  All meetings and events will take place at the Conventiion Center.

If you’re a DXer or interested in any aspect of Ham radio, then IDXC is the place to be.  Top DX operators from around the world will be there.  You'll match those familiar callsigns with new faces, and shake hands with the person you have had a sched with for the past 10 years but never met. 

Learn the secrets for big signals on top band. How to have fun adventures chasing IOTA, attend the Contest forum, DX forum, DX Academy or Contest Academy. There are seminars for everyone from the seasoned pro to the beginning DXer. Visit the Exhibit Hall, where you can talk to the people who design and use the best DX equipment.  We have some great raffle Prizes the likes of which top even the famed Dayton Hamvention.  And don’t forget the XYL’s — we have a Special Tour for them as well.  

In just a few short weeks, the convention will be here.  Until then, we'll be finalizing the program, speakers, setting up the Exhibit Hall, and generally preparing for a memorable convention for all attendees.

Use the left-side navigation bar to explore the website.  Information will be added and updated frequently, so be sure to check back from time-to-time.
