"Emergency Communications From The Desert To The Sea"

Dear Vendors, Manufacturers and Technical experts:

The ARRL Southwestern Division Convention will be held September 7-8-9, 2007, at the Torrance Marriott Hotel, 3635 Fashion Way, Torrance, CA 90503-4809.

We are making every effort to present the best venue possible to the Southwestern Division members. With the increasing amount of business being conducted over the internet, phone, and by mail, to limit ourselves to only local sources would leave many who support our Division unrecognized. Therefore, we are writing to invite vendors and manufacturers both local and distant to our convention. We hope that we can gain your support in recognition of the business we continue to bring to you. Should you desire to exhibit please contact Dino Darling, K6RIX, at 562-652-7285 or dino@k6rix.com.

If you would like to advertise in our convention program, please contact Ben Grokett, KR6E, at 661-298-4651 or kr6e@sbcglobal.net.

As we strive to add ongoing excellence to our technical presentations, we ask that you consider sharing your technical knowledge with our attendees. If you are willing to present a technical program please contact Sam Lollar, K1SL, at 562-806-1234 or k1sl@verizon.net.

Good prizes are an important part of the equation to insure a good convention draw. If you are willing to donate or discount prizes, please contact Doug Dowds, W6HB, at 310-834-1695 or w6hb@aol.com.

Should you have any additional needs or questions, please feel free to contact Co-Chairs Bev Pitman, WA6TIU and Jim Pitman, WA6MZV at 310-320-4707, or wa6tiu@juno.com or wa6mzv@att.net.
