"The Biggest Little City in the World"

Reno, Nevada - Preparation for the 2006 edition of EMCOMMWEST® is underway!
This year the conference, themed around emergency communications, will be 
held at the Atlantis Hotel and Resort in Reno. Many new and exciting themes 
will be added this year, much of which will center on response to 
large-scale disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina, and how amateur radio is 
there when all else fails!

The event is once again sponsored by the American Radio Relay League based 
in Newington, CT (www. arrl.org), and will host many exciting features and 
presentations, including:

 Keynote Speaker from ARRL: Dave Patton, NN1N - Manager of ARRL 
Field
and Educational Services.
 The Reno Spring Hamswap - Free to sellers and buyers! It will begin 
at 6am Saturday morning in the Atlantis parking lot. Space is limited, so 
plan to get there early!
 Saturday night banquet. Guest Speaker will be Bill Pasternak, 
WA6ITF, of Amateur Radio Newsline! A delicious meal will be served by 
Atlantis. Sign up online at the EMCOMMWEST® Website soon - seating limited.
 VE Testing for all classes of amateur radio licenses.
 Emergency Communication Vehicle Displays (contact EMCOMMWEST® if
