On behalf of the Central States VHF Society I invite you to attend our 53rd
annual CSVHF Society conference to be held in Lincoln, Nebraska. Our last
visit to Lincoln was 31 years ago, 1988, for our very successful 22nd annual
conference. Lincoln is centrally located in the USA and is within an easy
day or two driving distance of most centrally located USA cites. Lincoln
also features a major airport.
Our 2019 conference will be held on July 25th through July 27 at the Country
Inn & Suites by Radisson, Lincoln North Hotel and Conference Center, located
at 5353 North 27th Street in Lincoln, Nebraska. The conference will feature
all of the activities that previous conferences have had including technical
presentations, antenna range testing, preamp measurements, vendor exhibits,
both a VHF101 and a Microwave101 educational seminar for those who may be
new to weak signal operations, Rover Row, Dish Row, luncheons with hosted
speakers, a family program for non-hams, a Saturday night banquet, and a
VHF/UHF/Microwave swap fest. In addition, the conference offers a great
opportunity to socialize with like-minded weak signal VHF+ operators.
Please note the following important dates and updated information:
. The conference hotel booking rate is good up through July 10. You
can find the link to the hotel reservation at http://www.csvhfs.org/ , then
click on the Annual Conference tab near the top.
. You can register for the conference and food items (i.e., Thursday
evening buffet, Friday and Saturday lunches, and Saturday evening banquet)
up though July 15th. After that date we need to forward our food numbers to
the hotel. You will still be able to register for the conference itself
after that date, but not for food items.
. The conference timeline and agenda has been set and can be found on
our website at http://2019.csvhfs.org/ then click on Conference Info near
the top. As "life" does happen, please expect some changes as we move
towards conference time.

States totals to Vince, K0SIX at mnvinnie@hotmail.com .
. This year we are featuring both a VHF101 and a Microwave101
educational seminar on Saturday for those who may be new to weak signal
operations. This is an outstanding opportunity for those newer to VHF+ to
learn about the fun that we have above 50 MHz. Please share this
information who may be interested.
As you, our members, are our greatest PR tool please share this information
with your local clubs (VHF and non-VHF) and bring a friend with you to the
conference.
I hope to see you and your family in Lincoln in 2019 !
