[QCWA] QCWA at Florida Hamfests

[Ken Simpson, W8EK]

It might be the time that some of you "Up North" are
thinking about the warmer climate in Florida and making
plans to head south.  Or maybe you are already in Florida.

I would like to take this opportunity to let you know
about some of the hamfests that we will be attending
with a QCWA display table and/or QCWA forum.

These are listed in chronological order.

Jan 15 - Fort Myers Hamfest
We will have a display table, with a forum at 1 PM.
Hamfest details can be found at
http://fmarc.net/
or contact Larry Zimmer at W4LWZ at arrl.net

February 10 thru 13 - Orlando HamCation
This is the "big" hamfest, second only to Dayton, and
one that you will not want to miss.
We will have a large, double display booth in with the
commercial exhibits.  Please be sure to stop by and sign
in, and say hello.
We will have a forum that is now scheduled from 11:15 AM
to 12:15 PM on Saturday, Feb 12. Four of your national
directors will be in attendance.
You can find information about the hamfest at
http://www.hamcation.com/
or you can email for information to info at hamcation.com

March 19 - Stuart
We will have a display table and probably will have a
forum as well (final info still pending).
Information on the hamfest is at
http://www.stuarthamfest.com/
or you can contact Doug Shields at W4DAS at arrl.net

There may be other hamfests as well, but these are scheduled
at the present time.

Don't forget that there are about 20 active chapters in
Florida having chapter meetings at various times.  All
will welcome you, so plan to attend some of them as well.
You can find a list of chapter meetings at
http://qcwa.org/events-by-chapter.htm
or you can e-mail me at W8EK at FLHam.net for a list of the
active chapters in Florida with meeting times and places
and contacts for each.

I hope to see you soon.

Thanks.

Ken, W8EK
