As in the past, we intend to allow entries in the Homebrew Contest* to be
displayed in the Ballroom on Club Night, Friday night, May 15, between 8PM
and 10 PM. To enter an item in the contest and insure that it is part of
the voting (on Friday night), you must register your item on Friday night
between 7 PM and 8 PM. A registration table will be outside the main
Ballroom at that time on both nights.
Each entry will be given a card that lists the category and item number,
along with a description of the item and the call sign of the owner. This
card must be displayed with your entry.
Judging will be done between 8 PM and 10 PM on Friday night, so your entry
must be displayed Friday night to insure it is part of the voting. The
judges will be the attendees of the Club night on Friday. Each will be
given a ballot that must be submitted by 10:00 PM on Friday. There will be
seven categories. They are:
1. All Homebrew (Xcvr,Xmtr,Rcvr)
2. Modified Kit (Xcvr,Xmtr,Rcvr)
3. Station accessories (homebrew or modified kit)
4. Test Equipment (homebrew or modified kit)
5. Antennas
6. Special Category
7. Best of show
Winners will be announced at the awards banquet on Saturday, May 16. If you
are bringing an item for the Show & Tell* and do not wish it to be judged,
you need not register, simply come to the ballroom between 7PM and 8PM and
set it up on a table that we will assign to you. Whether you are part of
the Homebrew Contest or the "Show and Tell", please let us know your
intentions when you register so that we can assure we have adequate space
for all.

Wish I could be there to see the homebrew entries, glad to
see you promoting the hobby, hope you have a great meeting and night.
Constructing home built gear is not totally dictated by manufacture's of
radio equipment yet, there's still room for experimenting by us
soldering iron jockey's. As I won't be able to attend, I thought you
might like to see some of my homebrew efforts, so the url is

the contest would probably be very expensive.
