West Virginia ARRL Convention and Hamfest

I hope this email finds you well and hope you are enjoying your summer.  I want to share information and invite you to the West Virginia ARRL Convention and Hamfest slated for Saturday, July 26th in Flatwoods at the Days Inn.  I hope you have time to attend.     Every licensed amateur in the state of West Virginia is a member of the WV State Amateur Radio Council.  Your support is greatly appreciated and needed to continue the tradition of the Convention.   Below is the link to the ARRL webpage advertisement.  I am also including attachments for your convenience with the advertisement sheet and the meeting schedule.  I am proud of the meeting line-up this year and am hopeful there is a meeting that you would like to attend.    Admission is $10 and flea market tables are available to setup for $10.  You will see the list of prizes for the event which is pretty good with the first place prize being a Yaesu FT-710 HF rig, HF + 6 meters.  A nice addition to any hamshack.  I hope you will honor us by attending.  Please contact me with any questions or reservations for flea market tables.  If you cannot attend and want to support the Convention financially, please contact me and I can offer you tickets that may be purchased with a chance to win the prizes.  You do not need to be present for a chance to win a prize.  Thank you so much!   Please forward this email to anyone that may be interested in attending or supporting the Convention.  Your support help ensure that the Convention will continue for many more years!   https://www.arrl.org/hamfests/arrl-west-virginia-state-convention-and-ham-fest-2   Ed Messenger, N8OYY President, WVSARC 68 Dogwood Ln Fairmont, WV 26554   304-517-9715 n8oyy@hotmail.com
