Central States VHF Society is pleased to announce that our Annual Conference
for 2015 will be held in the Denver Colorado Metro area between Thursday
July 23rd and Sunday July 26th. Our sponsor this year is Rocky Mountain Ham
Radio. Our convention site is the Denver Marriott Westminster; the venue is
now 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 HF remote base station in Pueblo, microwave
operating from local mountain tops and the chance to score a microwave VUCC
in a weekend! 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. Currently our deadline for receiving
papers prior to getting them to ARRL for publishing 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 Chairman
John Maxwell W0VG (w0vg at arrl.net)
