I just wanted to give everyone an update on the upcoming Southeastern VHF
Society Conference April 23rd and 24th at Morehead State University in
Morehead, Kentucky. The deadline for notifying Robin, K4IDC (k4idc at
comcast dot net) that you will be submitting a paper/presentation is March
5th. If you need help with preparing your presentation Robin has a lot of
experience with PowerPoint. Just let him know that you need help. See the
call for paper below for further information.
I also want to remind everyone who is planning to attend the conference to
make your hotel reservations as soon as possible. There are two other
events happening on the campus that weekend so hotel rooms will be in short
supply. Information on hotel rooms can be found at
http://www.svhfs.org/lodging.html.
Registration for the conference will be starting soon. I will send another
email out announcing the start of conference registration but until then
check www.svhfs.org <http://www.svhfs.org/> often for further information
and updates.
