[ILHam] 2013 WCRA Hamfest

[Richard Bauer]

The 2013 WCRA Mid-Winter Hamfest will be held at the Kane County Fairgrounds
Exposition Center in St. Charles, Illinois on Sunday, January 20, 2013.
This is the same location as last year!  Please note that this is one-week
earlier than usual.

We're planning a great hamfest that will include the usual flea market and
commercial vendors but also several interesting and informative breakout
sessions, on-site VE Testing, hourly prizes and more!  Hamfest hours are 8am
to 1pm and there will be plenty of FREE parking.

Anticipated forums are:

.	Jim O'Connell, W9WU - Amateur Radio & The Law
.	Dale Kwarta, NJ9E - Go Kit Radio in a Box
.	Mark Thompson, WB9QZB - D-Star Update

Flea market tables may be reserved in advance and are $25, $35 with
electricity.  Day-Of tables, if available, will be $30, $40 with
electricity.  Everyone at your table must have a hamfest admission ticket.
Advance admission tickets are a bargain at $8 each and include four prize
stubs!  Day-Of tickets will be $10 and have only one prize stub.  Children
under 12-years of age are admitted free.  Advance tickets can be purchased
by mail.  Send a self-addressed, stamped envelope plus your check or money
