Registration is now open for the 2015 Dayton Contest University (CTU) classes. According to CTU Chairman Tim Duffy, K3LR, CTU sessions will take place all day on Thursday, May 14, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in downtown Dayton. Duffy said that 2015 will mark the ninth year in a row that CTU sessions have been held in Dayton, in conjunction with Dayton Hamvention.®

Over the years, in addition to the US, seven countries have hosted CTUs — Australia, Russia, Germany, Italy, England, Brazil, and Finland. More than 3700 students have attended these classes, and more than 80 CTU instructors have shared their contesting experience and expertise. Duffy noted that CTU Caribbean will take place January 23-25 during the ARRL Puerto Rico Convention in Hatillo.

The 2015 lineup of classes and instructors is still being finalized, but the CTU website shows the 2014 complement. Anyone who has given a talk about Amateur Radio contesting to any club, hamfest or group since May 17, 2014, qualifies for a $10 registration fee discount. Choose the “Registration w/Discount” option to get the discount.

CTU sponsors include Icom America, DX Engineering, CQ Magazine and INRAD.
