So near, yet so far! I may have to sneak over Friday, and stay for Saturday. I'll be in Boulder for a workshop all the previous week, so I can't get in before Thursday night. This is looking promising, though!

Hello Judson,

 

As you're probably aware, we're gearing up for an outstanding ARRL Rocky Mountain Division Convention to be held in Estes Park, Colorado, June 27-30, 2013.  

 

Yes, you read those dates correctly!  

 

Four days of amateur radio excellence jam packed with technical sessions and forums, a very rare WWV tour, a Denver ARTCC (Air Route Traffic Control Center) tour, superb speakers, W1AW/Ø operations, vendors, exhibitors, a special DX University session, a prominent storm chaser (Tim Samaras of the Discovery Channel), contests, QSL card checking, a silent auction for radios, a visit to the Estes Park Astronomical Observatory, and much more.

 

We had 500 attendees here in 2009 (the division convention is in Colorado every 4th year), and we're expecting around 650 this time.  Our confirmed exhibitor list now includes Arrow Antenna, Flex Radio Systems, Ham Radio Outlet, Icom, Pixel Technologies, RT Systems, Southwest Antennas & Accessories, US Tower, Yaesu, several other pending exhibitors and a number of area clubs and organizations.

 

Did we mention prizes?  We’ve got a ton of GREAT prizes to win!

 

We'd be honored to meet you and the other University Of Oklahoma ARC members at this stellar event!  Would you please consider forwarding this message to your members, and posting it to your club web site?  We've got some nice web site banners, and if you'd like to include one of those, please let me know and we'll send them to you right away!

That feed on their velocity; 
And little whorls have lesser whorls, 
And so on to viscosity.”
