HAM-CON is Saturday February 25 at the Hampton Inn Convention Center, off Route 2/7 at I-89 Exit 16. We will have all sorts of forums, discussions and demonstrations.

A pre-buy ticket is only $6 - SUCH A DEAL, but don't wait too long as that price will go up. If you are unable to travel, you can get an admission ticket and watch the forums on line.
