As many of you know, Bill Fisher W4AN -- top contester and founder of
eHam.net and contesting.com [and uk-contest - G4BUO]-- recently passed 
away.  His sudden passing was a shock to the entire ham community, and 
he will be greatly missed.

The W4AN Memorial Trust Fund was established to benefit Bill's two young
children, Graeme and Erik. See W8JI's page for more info on this fund...
http://w8ji.com/w4an.htm

To help add funds to the Trust, we've put together a Raffle, with a 
great assortment of prizes.  Thanks to the incredible support of the ham 
radio business community, we are able to offer about $6,200 in prizes, 
including a new ICOM IC-756PROII, generously donated by ICOM America!

Tickets will be sold at the Crowne Plaza Hotel on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday nights (5/13-5/15) PLUS tickets are also available on-line via 
a secure server, for those that can't make it to Dayton this year.  The
raffle drawing will take place on Saturday night (5/15) at Midnight. 
Need not be present to win.

For all the details, including pictures and descriptions of all the 
prizes, go to:
