The dates again are 9, 10 and 11 October, and the venue is the Wyboston Lakes Centre in Bedfordshire.

Alongside the usual HF, DX, Technical and Beginners lecture streams, this year sees the inclusion of a very interesting VHF stream. Here’s a great opportunity to meet the people involved at the leading edge of the use of the spectrum, in the usual lecture environment but more importantly in a social environment.

Well-known HF DXer Alex Gartshaw, GD3UMW has branched out during 2009 and will be giving a talk in the VHF Stream entitled "My first year on 4 metres by an experienced HF DXer". This presentation will be an account of setting up and operating a 4 metre station in 2009.
