<div dir="ltr">Hi Fred<div><br></div><div>I am sure you would enjoy either event. I have never been to the Top Band Dinner. Since I have been attending Dayton, I decided to go to the SWODXA DX Dinner instead. While I am much more of a contester than a DX'er, and my DX'ing interests are primarily around 160M and 6M, you would think I would go to the Top Band Dinner. But I believe that this event is attended by a lot of the same folks who are at other contesting events such as Contest U, The Contest Dinner and the Contest SuperSuite (all of which I attend). I thought it might be nice to mix with a different group for that night. I haven't regretted it. Some years the speakers are better than others, but I am glad I was there to hear from Martin Jue of MFJ, Nigel Jolly (former owner of The Braveheart of DXpedition fame), Ruth Willet, KM4LAO and the late, lamented Dave Collingham, K3LP.</div><div><br></div><div>Not really trying to influence you, but take this for what it is worth.

<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have tickets to two events at the same time...on Friday May 20.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The SWODXA DX Dinner at the Marriott, and the Top Band Dinner at the Hope Hotel.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I presume that I can sell the Top Band Dinner ticket.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Or is the Top Band Dinner event the better of the two.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Advice would be appreciated.</div>
