To: all-members <all-members@csvhfs.org>
To: All Central States VHF Society Members 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
