As of now, we have commitments for door prizes from Array Solutions, Louisiana Contest Club and the ARRL.  I have also been in conversation with one of the major radio manufacturers and those discussions will resume after the first of the year per their request.  Other vendors too, have requested further contact with them after the first of the year.

Tim, K3LR and I have a conference call today (Jan. 10, 2014) to finalize use of the reservation system.  I am still soliciting door prizes and added Force 12 / InnoVAntennas yesterday, to our sponsor list.  Most all of the prospective sponsors asked that I contact them after January 1st and here is the list of committed sponsors to date.

We are piggybacking on what Tim has already established for the Saturday night Contest Dinner and Top Band Dinner, but there is still some final steps to make.  Also, I announced in last week’s message on this reflector, that Larry, K8UT will be our featured speaker.  I hope to see you at the dinner!
