Speakers and Papers needed details at http://www.newsvhf.com/vhfconf.html
Talks and papers, both long and short, are
needed. Please tell us about what you have been
working on. Operating, contesting, construction,
homebrewing, microwaves, whatever. Please let me
know if you are considering something. A
commitment by the end of February would be
appreciated, with a deadline of 18 March. We are
also planning another Friday afternoon workshop.
One suggestion is for an Antenna Modeling
workshop. Someone else made a suggestion at the
last NEWS meeting but it fell out of my mind -
please remind me. We could even do two
simultaneous workshops - one for Antenna Modeling
and something else for those who aren't
computer-oriented. Suggestions, please. Please
