33rd Annual Eastern VHF/UHF Conference
April 20, 21 & 22, 2007
Crowne Plaza Hotel
Enfield, CT

This year we will sponsor a Saturday afternoon Microwave Workshop -mini conference in addition to our regular 3 day conference activities. Friday night hospitality suite, Saturday lectures, band session discussions, vendor displays and noise figure measurements with an evening banquet. Sunday morning (weather permitting) we will hold an Outdoor Flea Market specializing in VHF and Up items.

The Microwave Workshop will be patterned after the UK Microwave Group’s “Microwave Radio Workshop for Beginners”. This event is suitable for all newcomers to the microwave bands, with no previous experience necessary.

Paul Wade, W1GHZ world renowned micro-waver and editor of QST’s Microwavelengths column is coordinating the event. If you are interested in trying out the microwave bands but haven’t done so, or are just getting set up for the bands, then this event is a great opportunity to kick start your activities. The afternoon will be structured around a series of introductory talks and practical demonstrations of microwave station operations. There will be a number of experienced microwave operators on hand over the day so that all of your questions can be answered. The workshop will be an introduction to microwaves. Please note that it is NOT intended for those already experienced in this part of the spectrum.
