Ham-Com 2006 will be held at the Plano Centre, in Plano, TX, June 9-10 (Friday 
and Saturday), 2006.  The event will open at 7:00 a.m. on both days. 
Commercial exhibitors and table-top vendors will remain open until 6:00 p.m. on 
Friday and Saturday.  Classes will run until 9:00 p.m. both days.

Look for complete details about the event on the Ham-Com web site at 
http://www.hamcom.org/ after Labor Day 2005.

I almost forgot to mention that the Ham-Com, Inc. Board of Directors met their 
goal of reducing prices for everything from exhibitor booths to admission. 
Here's the QST:

- Commercial exhibtor booths - $250.00

- Tabletop vendors - $20.00 (two (2) days)

- Tabletop vendors - Saturday only price ($10.00)

- Parking - FREE! (did we say "FREE?")

- Overflow parking - FREE with shuttle bus at no charge!

- Admission: $7.00 online; $8.00 at the event

There is space for ~72 commercial booths and 200 tables (the outdoor table are 
under covered porticos.  There is also space for twelve (12) 8 x 8 canopies in 
the enclosed courtyard.  These spaces will be available at the $10.00, 
Saturday-only price.

The prices for Ham-Com 2006 are substantially lower than for the 2005 event. 
Commercial exhibitor space sold for $325.00, tabletops cost $35.00, admission 
was $9.00 online/$10.00 at the event and, of course, the infamous parking fee 
was $5.00 per day (did we say parking was FREE?).

Out-of-town visitors will enjoy lower hotel rates than at our previous 
location.  Group rates in Plano, TX will run from $59.00 to $79.00 per night. 
Food and beverage should be more reasonable and we promise not to pump anything 
into the air that will induce you to buy $4.00 hot dogs and $2.00 soft drinks. 
  The Ham-Com, Inc. Board of Directors thinks that the venue in Plano will 
serve the event's needs for the next five to ten years.

You're among the first to know...
