The past year and a half of planning, preparation and hard work by the
Lebanon ARC and the many individuals and clubs supporting them has
produced a convention agenda that I believe we can proudly call the
Dayton of the Midwest! I hope each of you will join me this weekend
November 8-9 for the ARRL Midwest Division Convention at the Cowan
Civic Center in Lebanon, Missouri.
Former Astronaut and Col Steven Nagel N5RAW will be presenting on
Friday at 5pm in the convention theater. COL Nagel's presentation is
titled: The First Half Century of Space Travel. This should be a great
event for adults and children alike. And on Saturday, from 2:00 to 4:00
p.m. Astronaut Nagel N5RAW and Carole Perry WB2MGP will host a youth
program in the theater. These are wonderful opportunities to invite a
child, grandchild, or other young person to hear an astronaut share his
experiences in space and learn about the fun and excitement of Amateur
Radio.
Don’t miss the Opening Ceremony on Saturday morning in the theater
and the free drawing for a chance to win a Yaesu FT-817nd MF/HF/VHF/UHF
transceiver and a Baofeng VHF/UHF UV-5R transceiver. You must attend
the ceremony and be present to win. There will also be hourly prize
drawings and a grand prize drawing at 4:00 p.m. Saturday.
Have you ever wondered how exciting it would be to operate the historic
W1AW station? Now’s your chance to guest operate at W1AW/0 beginning
at 2:00 p.m. Friday and 8:30 a.m. Saturday.
There’s a tremendous lineup of forums on topics such as DXing,
Contesting, Emergency Preparedness/Communications, Satellite
Communications, ARES, Antennas for Restricted spaces, HF Amplifiers,
Software Defined Radio, Antennas and Grounding Systems, FLDigi, Remote
operations, D-Star, Malpelo HK0NA DXpedition, QRP, HF Digital Voice,
Army and Navy MARS, Public Service/Red Cross, SEMA, FEMA, and More!
There are approximately 40 commercial vendors and companies committed
to attend, including ICOM, YAESU, KENWOOD, ELECRAFT, FLEX RADIO, HEIL
SOUND, MFJ (including Hygain, Cushcraft), Alpha/RF Concepts, Associated
Radio, WB0W, Ameritron, Ham Radio Deluxe, Quicksilver Radio, Main
Trading Co., RadioWavz, Microlog, D&L Antenna Supply, Alpha Antenna,
Rigol, Mirage, Ham Crazy, and more.
The weather forecast for Lebanon is delightful for the weekend –
sunny and temperatures in the 60’s. I hope you will join your ham
radio friends from throughout the Midwest in Lebanon, Missouri this
weekend!
