Just a reminder, the Central States VHF Society Annual Conference for 2015
is being held in the Denver Colorado Metro area between Thursday July 23rd
and Sunday July 26th. Our local sponsor this year is Rocky Mountain Ham
Radio. Our convention site is the Denver Marriott Westminster; the venue is
available for booking at our special conference rate of $109 per night.
Please plan on booking your vacation around the conference as the special
room rate is available from Monday July 20th through Wednesday July 29th. 

The conference will feature the traditional activities, Banquet, Luncheons
and hospitality suites, technical programs, noise figure measurement,
antenna range, Rover vehicle show and tell. Our Saturday evening banquet is
Rick Roderick K5UR First Vice President of ARRL and an avid VHFer. We have a
wide variety of activities available along the Front Range of Colorado and
will be offering a choice of side trips designed to entertain the entire
family.  Operating opportunities under consideration include operating from
the Rocky Mountain Ham Radio remote base station in Pueblo, microwave
operating from local mountain tops and the chance to score a microwave VUCC
in a weekend! Just bring your own equipment! We will have introductory
programs geared to newcomers to weak signal operation on the VHF+ bands that
will be promoted locally and designed to encourage younger hams to get
involved in DX'ing and contesting.

We are currently soliciting papers, presentations, and Poster displays for
the 49th Annual CSVHFS Conference. Our deadline for receiving papers and
getting them to ARRL for publishing is Rapidly Approaching! It is April 22,
2015 so now is the time to prepare your submission!  We hope you will have
something to share with your fellow VHF enthusiasts. Questions concerning
papers, presentations and Poster displays can be directed to our Program
