Sorry for the second announcement, but want to remind folks that the cutoff date for the hotel room discount has passed. To purchase a room, you must call the hotel directly. Online reservations are not available The rate for 2 double beds, a queen, or a king is $99 --still a very good rate considering the lowest regular rate is $139. Rooms are limited and going fast. Call the Baymont Inn: 860-643-5645 Tell them "VHF Conference" to get the $99 rate Discount is available Thurs, Fri, Sat, & Sun nights (The hotel manager has assured me that If any conference attendee was charged more than the $99 rate after the March 17 cutoff date, the hotel will reduce your rate to $99 --and I'm sure they will as we've had an excellent relationship with the Baymont for the last 3 years that we've been there) Join over 70 of Your VHF-UHF-MW Friends who have already Registered! 41st ANNUAL EASTERN VHF/UHF/MICROWAVE CONFERENCE Fri./Sat./Sun.
