The aim of the Conference is to share with our fellow VHFer's and above technical achievements in the field of communication and experimentation. You are all invited to participate by presenting a technical paper or submitting one for publication in the Conference Proceedings CD. Just your attendance is also welcome and we have a full program scheduled once again this year. If you are interested in presenting a paper at the conference or submitting one for the Proceedings please contact: Bruce Wood, N2LIV at N2LIV@optonline.net
For the technical presentations, PowerPoint presentations are preferred, but not required. The conference will provide an LCD projector, screen and wireless microphone for use by its participants. If your presentation requires a different format such as a slide projector, please contact me prior to the conference and I will arrange for it. A Conference Proceedings will be published on CD. You do not need to be a speaker to have your material included in the proceedings, just interested in sharing with your fellow radio enthusiasts, so please send it along by MARCH 15, 2008. In addition to our technical presentations and world famous Bandsessions we'll have a new LAB Session with Noise Figure, Gain and Power Measurements and a Manufacturers Demo area which will be open Saturday afternoon. We encourage you to bring  equipment to test. We'll also have Greg Bonaguide, WA1VUG of Rohde & Schwarz to manage the preamp noise figure and gain measurement Lab Session (50MHz-50GHz), and Mark Casey, K1MAP to head up the Sunday morning flea market. Art Holmes, W1RZF will head the Prize Donations. This years' VHF-SHF Trivia Quiz will be hosted by Dave Olean, K1WHS.  The Proceedings CD with the event schedule and many interesting articles is included with your conference registration fee and will be presented to you when you arrive. Hope to see you soon!
