When you remind about this, it is a good opportunity to also mention 
the digital conference and ARRL Maryland-D.C. section convention 
being moved to 11 November--pre-registration required!

Al Brown is doing a form page for the registration on Jim Cross's 
section web site

    http://www.arrl-mdc.net/

Watch that space.  They should get it loaded soon.

FAR will be handling the checks--thanks to treasurer John Chitwood. 
Simple instructions will be o n the registration page.
