[NLRS] *** FINAL REMINDER! : AURORA'24 is this Saturday, June 1, 2024! ***

[Janice Hoettels]

Hello NLRS Land!

Just another (final!) friendly reminder... **** AURORA'24 is this 
Saturday, June 1, 2024 ****

The weather forecast looks good for this year's event, with the NWS 
forecasting temps in the upper 70's, partly sunny, and a slight chance 
(20%) of rain after 1 pm. So the morning looks great for outdoor 
socializing, etc., and the slight chance of rain after 1 pm is 
irrelevant...we'll all be indoors listening to some great talks anyway!

So why not plan to spend some quality time with your fellow NLRSers this 
Saturday!

*You can register for the event "at the door" on Saturday from 9 am to 1 
pm: $5 individuals, $7 family, free for first time attendees! Cash or 
check accepted.*

Here are the details again about this year's event:

When: Saturday, June 1, 2024, 0900-1700 CDT
Where: West Medicine Lake Community Club, 1705 Forestview Lane North, 
Plymouth, MN 55441

 From 0900 to 1130, Donn, WA2VOI, and friends will be running the the 
outdoor antenna test range (weather permitting). Bring along your 
antennas and check out their performance for the upcoming VHF+ season 
and contests!

Also during the morning hours is a lot of socializing, show and tell, 
and casual demonstrations. Let everyone know what you've been up to! The 
ever-popular "trunk trade" will be happening too!

Lunch is 12:00 to 1:00 pm. If you are registering at the event on 
Saturday, lunch will be on your own. For those of you who sent in your 
registrations earlier via mail for the pizzalunch, well, you're gonna 
have some great pizza!

The technical programs start at 1300 and typically run until 1700 or 
1730. We have some great talks this year! Take a look!....

  * The Circular Folded Dipole for 50 MHz -  K0XL
  * 902 EME WAS Pursuit From The Corn Fields of Iowa - K0DAS, AC0RA, N0LNO
  * NLRS Business Meeting
  * A Novel 'CoCo' Antenna for 6m - K8OS
  * VHF Rover Grid DXpedition - W0ZF, AE0EE

Aurora is always a good time to see, learn, and share ideas with 
like-minded fellow VHFers.  If you know of someone who has a growing 
interest in this facet of our amazing hobby, invite them along.  Please 
share this information with others.

I hope to see you at this year's conference!

73,

Janice, KA9VVQ
NLRS secretary and treasurer
