The WSJT suite of software did not exist, amplifiers were exclusively tubes with high voltage power supplies, EME was conducted on CW utilizing high power and large antenna arrays, and computers played a much smaller roll, if any, in our station integration. The 26 years since the 31st conference has seen some amazing advancements in VHF and above communications.Through those years the Central States VHF Society has continued to be the leader in promoting and presenting these advancements.Unlike a traditional hamfest, the conference provides technical presentations, workshops, and test facilities to allow you to improve your station and on-the-air experience. The presenters and attendees are among the most recognized and highly experienced radio amateurs within the VHF and above ranks and you have the opportunity to spend quality time with them over the course of the conference. In addition to our technical presentations, we will provide our traditional professional grade antenna range and noise figure lab for you to test your latest design or to simply verify your apparatus is providing the desired result. A highlight of recent years is rover row and the dish bowl display. If you need some ideas on how to construct or organize your portable station, this is where you need to be on Friday morning! A conference of this scale is not simply scheduled and then magically appear. It requires considerable effort by volunteers dedicated to mentoring radio amateurs to become elite participants in the area of VHF and above research and operating skill. Current information may be found at http://2023.csvhfs.org/ and will be updated as plans finalize. The proceedings this year contains over 20 papers, several that will be presented at the conference.Please plan to attend this year’s conference, learn some new things, apply it to your station then “GET IN THERE AND WORK ‘EM!”73 Joel W5ZN2023 CSVHFS Conference President_______________________________________________
