This may interest some ARES HFrs: As many of you know Pacificon has been an annual 3 day gathering of hams. It.was started many years ago by the NorCal QRP club. It was taken over by a Pacificon-specific association and over the years gradually expanded to cover a full range of amateur radio interests. Last year the hotel it was traditionally at raised their prices about double. In desperation Pacificon was tagged onto another out of state event (Reno), where it was lost in obscurity and is in danger of an ignamous death. NorCal QRP has stepped up to the plate and is sponsoring a much smaller (QRP like :-) rebirth to be held locally on Oct 9 & 10. If you are interested, go to http://www.norcalqrp.org/pacificon09.htm to read about the planned events and to sign up. BTW Neal predicts security will be heavy to prevent entry of any linears :-).
