************************************************
Speakers and Papers needed
details at http://www.newsvhf.com/vhfconf.html

Talks and papers, both long and short, are
needed.  Please tell us about what you have been
working on.  Operating, contesting, construction,
homebrewing, microwaves, whatever.

Please let me know if you are considering something.
A commitment by the end of February would be appreciated,
with a deadline of 18 March.

We are also planning another Friday afternoon workshop.
One suggestion is for an Antenna Modeling workshop.
Someone else made a suggestion at the last NEWS meeting
but it fell out of my mind - please remind me.

We could even do two simultaneous workshops - one for
Antenna Modeling and something else for those who aren't
computer-oriented.  Suggestions, please.

Please contact Paul Wade, W1GHZ, Conference Co-Chairman
