[Elecraft] 2009 ARRL Southwest Convention/Hamfest, Santa Barbara, 2009

[Wayne Burdick]

In case you haven't heard, the ARRL Southwest Convention is to be held  
in Santa Barbara this year. For details, see:

Elecraft will be there in force, including myself, Eric, WA6HHQ, and  
some of our engineering team. It should be a great opportunity to meet  
old and new friends -- and perhaps see something new.

Santa Barbara is a beautiful place. I lived there for a couple of  
years and have some great memories of outings to the surrounding  
mountains and backcountry. There's a road (West Camino Cielo) that  
takes you to 4000' La Cumbre Peak, which provides an awesome view of  
Santa Barbara and the ocean. I'm planning to spend an extra day there  
so I can slip in some portable HF/6m operation.

The Santa Barbara ARC is working hard to put on this event, and we're  
hoping they have an excellent turnout. If you'd like to help out at  
the Elecraft booth, email Lisa (lisa at elecraft dot com).
