Please join us for Ham-Com 2005, June 3-5, at the Convention
Center in Arlington, TX.  We will again host the ARRL West
Gulf Division Convention.  The event runs from Friday through
Sunday.

Please visit the new Ham-Com web site to register online or
sign up for our e-mail notification list!  Click on the
following link to go to the web site:

http://www.hamcom.org/cgi-bin/ccp51/cp-app.cgi?pg=maillist

(you can also remove your e-mail address at any time using
this feature).  The new web site now provides more information
as well as secure online purchasing for admission tickets,
indoor and outdoor flea market tables and spaces, commercial
booths, special event tickets, products and F-R-E-E, year-round
classified advertising.

Register N-O-W to qualify for our online registration prize!
The prize this year is the Alinco 620 VHF/UHF dual-band mobile
transceiver (50 Watt/35 Watt).  Grand prizes will be announced
in April 2005 plus we will hold hourly prize drawings for many
items including a Peet Bros. Ultimeter weather station.

Did we say that you can purchase Outdoor Flea Market spaces
online?  Y-E-S!  The Dallas Amateur Radio Club (DARC) will be
managing the Outdoor Flea Market this year.  There are 162
spaces available and you can purchase one or more right now.
We even provide a special section in the new (did we say F-R-E-E?)
online classified advertising section so you can let your
customers know what you're bringing to the event.

What's new at Ham-Com 2005?  A lot of things, including new
speakers, programs, workshops and special events.  John Beadles,
N5OOM, Programs Director, is developing a new group of programs
for the three day event.  Of course, the National Weather
Service will hold Basic and Advanced SKYWARN schools plus at
least three special programs.  Download the latest version of
the "Ham-Com Flyer" for details.

The keynote speaker will be confirmed in April 2005.  The staff
is looking to find someone very special and we think we have
just the right person in mind to talk to an audience full of
Amateur Radio operators.

Bring the whole family to Ham-Com!  The staff has put together
a special XYL package for Saturday, June 5, 2005 and we will
provide discount coupons for Six Flags over Texas at the
registration desk.  Our plans for Saturday evening are a bit of
a departure from previous years.  The keynote speaker will begin
at 6:30 p.m.  At 7:00 p.m., the friends of Jim Haynie, W5JBP,
will sponsor a celebrity roast of the ARRL President.  At 8:00
p.m., the Grand Hall will be opened for an ice-cream social and
swing dance with a well-known, area jazz band.

We tried to make things as convenient as possible for you.  You
can pay by check, Visa, MasterCard or PayPal.  All of the online
payment methods use SSL security via the processing bank and
PayPal web sites.  The security of your data is assured by
LinkPoint/FirstPay and PayPal, two of the largest online
processors on the Internet.  Discounts are available for online
purchasers, including those who pay by check

(restrictions apply; please visit http://www.hamcom.org/ for details).
Of course, you can still pay at the event using cash, check, Visa or
MasterCard.

Want to volunteer and get in free?  You can do that online, too.
Visit http://www.hamcom.org/cgi-bin/ccp51/cp-app.cgi?pg=volunteers
and enter your information.  The same link will provide information
about schedules and assignments beginning May 1, 2005.

Please join us for Ham-Com 2005!  We appreciate your past attendance
and want you to know that the Ham-Com staff is working hard to make
this a great event.

See you there!
