Another information about DX-Camp Doebriach:
      DX - Camp Doebriach 1997 !
     ============================
      July 13th - Aug. 2nd 1997
We, a group of DXers within Arbeitsgemeinschaft
DX (AGDX), like to inform you herewith, that we
are organizing a DX-camp in D”briach this year
again. D”briach is a little village in Carinzia,
the southern part of Austria. Our Camp is
situated at the eastern shore of Lake Millstatt,
approximately in the middle between Spittal and
Villach.
There will be offered a comprehensive
introduction into FM-DX. Experienced DXers will
inform you about receivers, antennas, propagation
and possibilities to identify unknown stations,
for instance Italian private stations which can
be heared in this area. In addition, we are
planning visits to radio stations in Austria,
Italy and Slovenia. We have planned a five-day-
trip to Modena/Abetone in Italy (July 21st to
25th) and we will stay in a hut at  Slivnica-
mountain (1114m) in Slovenia for three days (July
29th- 31st).
Our DX-Camp will not only be interesting for FM-
DXers, there are excellent conditions for
receiving shortwave and tropical-bands-stations,
too! We shall have exchange of experience, and of
course, reception in practice - if you like all
night long! There is enough space to build up
long-wire-antennas. The Austrian DX-association
ADXB-OE will lend to us some receivers and it
will be fascinating to test and compare the
different receivers and antennas. At last there
are facilities for swimming at our beach, hiking
and for other sports, too. D”briach is an ideal
point of departure for trips, for example to
Venice, to Ljubljana or to the 'Grossglockner
Hochalpenstrasse', a pass road over the alps with
a wonderful view to the glaciers. If you are a
licensed radio-amateur, you can use our club
station OE8XBC!
The charge for one day is DM 27,- (about US$ 19,-
). One week amounts DM 180,-, two weeks come to
DM 353,-. At least, the price for the whole three
weeks will be DM 510,-These charges include four
meals daily and the overnight stay with tent and
sleeping-bag.
If you have no tent you can sleep in a big tent
which we rent. This will cost DM 3,- extra.
Please, bring a sleeping bag with you. If you do
not like camping, it is possible to stay in a
hotel or in an apartment. In this case, you have
to contribute to the costs for organization of
the camp, too. If you want to come with a
caravan, a camping ground is next to our camp.
We shall have to bring fork, knive and spoon with
us, but no dishes! The DX-camp is situated at an
international youth-camp and we get our meals from
the kitchen there, therefore we do not need to cook
for ourselfes.
We have to take a registration fee from you, but
you get it back in the camp. It costs 70 Austrian
Schillings (DM 10,- or Lire 7000 or US$ 10,-).
Please send this fee to the adress below to apply
for the DX-camp. Your receivers are insured during
the DX-camp if you have paid the registration fee.
Please tell us type and value of your receivers as
well as the date when you have bought it, we need
this to effect the insurance.
