ARRL Passport Featured at 2007 ARRL National Convention
One of the exciting activities at this month's ARRL National Convention is the ARRL Passport, the ultimate hamfest scavenger hunt. Pick up your Passport at the ARRL EXPO area and collect different ARRL Passport codes at participating exhibits and activities at the Huntsville Hamfest.
According to ARRL Sales and Marketing Manager Bob Inderbitzen, NQ1R, "There are only 2500 ARRL Passports available, so pick them up early while you can. Turn in your completed entry form at ARRL EXPO by Sunday at 12 noon and you could be a winner."
Prizes include two terrific all-mode mobile transceivers: the Icom IC-7000 and the Yaesu FT-857D.
Charlie Emerson, N4OKL, Vice-President of the Huntsville Hamfest Association, said that convention attendance will likely reach unprecedented levels. "The hamfest is getting into the 'unreal' category. We have reports of people coming in from everywhere." Both official hotels, the Embassy Suites (connected to the all air-conditioned Von Braun Center, site of the Convention and Hamfest) and the Holiday Inn (across the street) have sold out. There is availability at the nearby Marriott Hotel, just a short distance away by car. More lodging options are available at the Huntsville/Madison County Convention and Visitors Bureau Web site.
The 2007 ARRL National Convention is August 18-19 in Huntsville, Alabama and is held in conjunction with the Huntsville Hamfest. For more information on the ARRL EXPO, National Convention and the Huntsville Hamfest, check out the National Convention Web site.
