[VHFcontesting] Southeastern VHF Society Conference Program

[Jim Worsham]

The program for the upcoming Southeastern VHF Society Conference has been
finalized and is listed below.  For further information on the conference
and registration information please go to www.svhfs.org.  Conference advance
registration is still open until March 31st.  Folks who register in advance
get a $5 discount and a chance at a $200 DEMI gift certificate.  One final
thing, as part of the conference we are once again having a hospitality
suite on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings.  In the past we have been
able to get a room in the hotel for this event at little or no cost but this
year's hotel is charging us several hundred dollars for the room.  As a
result we are soliciting individuals, groups, clubs and commercial
organizations to sponsor the hospitality suite.  Any amount would be
appreciated.  If you are a club or other organization we will be glad to
prominently display your name in the hospitality suite if you provide us
with a sign or banner.  If you would like to be a sponsor or have any
questions just contact me W4KXY at w4kxy at bellsouth.net.  Thanks.
