HAMCON 2011 - 9/10-9/12

Post by cruiserlarry » Thu Mar 24, 2011 6:56 pm

Just wanted to post a heads up for the ARRL Southwest Division Amateur Radio Convention, HAMCON 2011.

The event will take place September 9-12 at the Marriott Torrance / South Bay (3635 Fashion Way, Torrance, CA 90503), and will feature exhibitors, seminars, technical workshops, radio demonstrations, T-hunting, and a banquet.

For more information, go to: HAMCON 2011

Hmmmm............. I just might have to look in on that, seeing it 's just down the street a few blocks from my office.

What do you say, Larry. Shall we check out the banquet?

And a butt-load of OAUSA business cards and vehicle stickers, too... :mrgreen:

I think we should definitely put this on the calendar - after all, given our test session results at the M&G, and the likelihood of a repeat performance at Summerfest, we could become quite an attraction at Hamcon...

No - that was my point :roll: We should have materials to hand out, and make our presence known at Hamcon ;)

OK. It's this weekend. Friday and Saturday are looking like the best days. Vendor/Exhibitor hours on Friday are 4:00PM to 7:00PM and Saturday 8:00AM to 5:00PM.

There will be several of what they call "tech talks" on Friday and Saturday, see: http://www.hamconinc.org/tech-talks/_Te ... mation.pdf.

Cost is somewhere around $20.00.

So, who is going?
