25, 2004.  The discount is for on-line registrations ONLY.
Forms are available at the Ham-Com 2004 web site if you

Additional family member badges are $5.00 (pre-register

All badges must be picked up at the will-call desk in the
main lobby, so be sure and save your e-mail acknowledgement
to speed your entry into the event.  WE WILL NOT MAIL BADGES!

Outdoor Flea Market pricing has been reduced to $20.00 per
space for the 2004 event.  Spaces are allocated on a first-
ome, first-served basis.  Please see the posted policy at
http://www.hamcom.org/ for details.

There are still plenty of Indoor Flea Market tables available.
These will go fast, so don't wait too long!

REMEMBER:  Ham-Com is much more than a Hamfest!  The DX
community's well-planned agenda of speakers and forums draws
record crowds.  Ham-Com is one of Amateur Radio's "must
attend" events.  Other interest groups are following the
DXers' lead and make our line-up of programs and extra
events big attractions for a wide range of Amateur Radio
enthusiasts.

This year, Ham-Com is host to the ARRL West Gulf Division
Convention and will feature several guest speakers.  They
include:

- Jim Haynie, W5JBP, ARRL President, will speak on current
topics including license restructuring and BPL.

- Riley Hollingsworth, K4ZDH, of the FCC's Enforcement
Division will provide the keynote address and host an open
panel discussion.

Other features at this year's event include:

- The Lone Star DX Luncheon.

- The Wouff Hong Award Ceremony.

- Mark Spencer, WA8SME, ARRL "Big Project" Manager, with
comprehensive information about educational materials
available to schools.

- An enhanced SKYWARN session and other interesting programs
by the National Weather Service Fort Worth, TX office.

- A one-day Radio Merit badge session for Boy Scouts of
America.

Plus, a comprehensive series of presenters and forums by:

- The Lone Star DX Association

- The North Texas APRS Workshop

- The North Texas QRP Club

- The North Texas Microwave Society

Your participation is vital to this event and it is well
worth your time to attend.  Ham-Com is manned and managed
by volunteers from its Board of Directors and many North
Texas Ham Radio Clubs.  There are no paid employees of
Ham-Com, Inc.  Bill Nelson, AB5QZ, is President of the
Board.  Don Smith, W5DS, and Dr. Byron Landress, W5IBE,
are Directors.

Barry A. Goldblatt, WA5KXX, President of the Plano Amateur
Radio Klub (PARK) is the Chairman for the 2004 event.  Bob
Peters, W1PE, is Commercial Exhibitor Chairman.

You can contact us via phone or FAX at 214-361-7574, send
e-mail to chairman@hamcom.org or visit our web site:

We look forward to seeing you at Ham-Com 2004!
