[VHFcontesting] Southeastern VHF Society Conference Update

[Jim Worsham]

Hello everyone.  Registration is still open for the Southeastern VHF Society
Conference to be held at Morehead State University in Morehead, Kentucky on
April 23 - 24, 2010.  You can download the registration form at
www.svhfs.org/2010registration.pdf.  Further information on the conference,
venue, etc. can be found at www.svhfs.org/conference.html.

 

You also need to get your hotel room reservation in place before April 1st.
There are two other activities going on at the university that weekend and
we are expecting the supply of hotel rooms to be tight.  The hotels will not
be holding rooms for us after April 1st.  Information on hotel rooms can be
found at http://www.svhfs.org/lodging.html.

 

There are still some time slots available in the program.  If you would like
to make a presentation at the conference please let the program chair Robin,
K4IDC know.  You can contact Robin at k4idc at comcast dot net.  Information
on submitting a paper and/or presentation can be found at
http://www.svhfs.org/callforpapers2010.html.  If you have already notified
Robin that you will be submitting a paper and/or presentation for the
conference Robin will need it in his hands by April 19th in order to have
time to burn it onto the CD which will be provided to the conference
attendees.  Sooner is even better.

 

There will be a banquet Saturday night but there will NOT be a luncheon on
Friday.  We are still looking for a banquet speaker so if you can suggest
someone please contact Jim, W4KXY at w4kxy at bellsouth dot net.

 

On Friday we intend to run tours of the Space Science Center and the 21
meter dish antenna on an ad hoc basis, with sign up sheets at the
registration table.  We will set the times based on the other events
happening that day.  We will also have a sky show in the theater that day as
well, which we will set it up the same way. Shows are an hour long, the tour
of the 21 meter dish antenna will be an hour, and the building tour is 1/2
hour.

 

Conference chairman Jeff, WA3ZKR is hosting an eyeball QSO party,
particularly for the early arrivals who may have traveled far! It will not
be elaborate, just dogs and burgers, with a cooler of assorted beers and
sodas, chips, etc.  It is planned for the afternoon of April 22, from 2-9
PM.  The address is: 

 

Jeff Kruth

317 Briarwood Lane

Morehead, KY 40351

 

Jeff lives almost right beside I-64, very close to the hotels. You can find
him on MapQuest, etc.  Jeff asks that if you are driving, bring your gear
and show off your work!  It is always nice to see what the other guy is
doing. There will be lots of lab benches for display, secure areas, plenty
of room at the conference.
