remind folks that the cutoff date for the hotel
room discount has passed. To purchase a room,
you must call the hotel directly. Online

double beds, a queen, or a king is $99 --still a
very good rate considering the lowest regular

Call the Baymont Inn: 860-643-5645 Tell them "VHF
Conference" to get the $99 rate Discount is
available Thurs, Fri, Sat, & Sun nights (The
hotel manager has assured me that If any
conference attendee was charged more than the $99
rate after the March 17 cutoff date, the hotel
will reduce your rate to $99 --and I'm sure they
will as we've had an excellent relationship with
the Baymont for the last 3 years that we've been
there) Join over 70 of Your VHF-UHF-MW Friends
