[UK-CONTEST] RSGB CONVENTION

[G3RIR]

VHF and up at the RSGB Convention

The RSGB have issued the following press release.

RSGB Convention - Wyboston 10th - 12th October 2009. This years event, at
the Wyboston Lakes Conference centre in Bedfordshire, will for the first
time, see the inclusion of a full stream of VHF lectures and presentations
This new stream will run alongside the usual streams of HF, DX, Technical
and Beginners lectures.  Here's a great opportunity to meet the people
involved at the leading edge of the use of the spectrum, in the usual
lecture environment but more importantly in a social environment. As in
previous years the Convention will be hosting the full range of UK licence
exams.  A detailed programme will be available in due course.  So remember -
RSGB Convention - Wyboston 10-12th October - see you there.


You will note that the RSGB Convention now encompasses VHF and above; Reg
(G8VHI ) and Neil (G3RIR) have been asked to run the new stream which will
have the theme of

VHF/UHF/SHF DXing and Contesting through technical excellence and
development but not forgetting the beginners to these bands.

We already have a number of excellent lectures planned but we would like to
receive suggestions of which topics and lecturers you would like
incorporated. Also, perhaps, some of you may wish to offer to give a talk
within the theme.

Please feel free to distribute this e-mail to any one you think may be
interested including any relevant reflectors.
