Prior to the start of the meeting (~19:15 CST), W9DK made contact on 20 Meters with John Meyer (NZ9Z), operating as V31NZ from Belize on an overseas Dxpedition. Members present passed their greetings to John and exchanged weather conditions, etc., from both locations. This is believed to be the first ever overseas DXpedition contact made as part of a club meeting. (N9NCU)
