The Florida Contest Group and Yaesu are pleased to present the very first
Orlando Hamcation Contest SuperSuite on Friday, February 12 at 6pm. Come
join us at the Orlando Hamcation, which is rapidly becoming the
second-largest hamfest in the United States, in what is arguably the best
part of the country to spend a February weekend.
Friday night after the hamfest activity at the Fairgrounds is over, slip
over to the American Legion Hall at 2101 Lee Road in Orlando just five short
miles from the hamfest. Enjoy free pizza, $1 beer and soda, and a CW copying
contest with prizes for top overall entry as well as top entrant licensed
<10 years and top entrant <30 years of age. In addition, come steal the
secrets of the top FQP mobile teams at the FQP mobile slideshow and partake
of some of that famous Florida hospitality in the Sunshine state, where it
is presently 73 degrees and sunny. It will be just like Dayton but with
better weather!

In addition to the hospitality and socializing, The FCG is pleased to
announce that we'll be raffling off a brand new Yaesu FT857D to one lucky
ham. This compact mobile radio covers 160M to 70cm (including 60M) and would
be a great starting point for a winning mobile entry in the 2010 FQP! Best
of all, you need not be present to win. If you just can't slip away from
shoveling snow in Vermont or Minnesota to come to Orlando, send money for
your tickets via PayPal to WF3C at cgp@alumni.wfu.edu. You will receive a
return email confirming your ticket number and will be contacted via email
or phone should you be the lucky winner. Tickets are only $5 apiece, or 5
for $20! Additional prizes for the raffle include a copy of the 2010 ARRL
Handbook and the 2010 ARRL Antenna Book.
You will have an opportunity to purchase tickets in person at the Yaesu
booth at the hamfest all day on Friday and Saturday morning, at the
SuperSuite on Friday night, and online until February 12th at midnight. We
will draw the winning tickets at the Yeasu booth at the hamfest on Saturday,
February 13 at 3pm.

Remember that there are less than 90 days until the 2010 Florida QSO Party!
73, and I'll see you at the Contest SuperSuite!
