[Sbarc-list] ARRL Sanctioned Palm Springs Hamfest 2011** January, 29, 2011**
by DesertRAT Club 11 Jan '11

*FINAL reminder mark it on your Calendar **ARRL Sanctioned Palm Springs Hamfest January 29, 2011* The air waves are A-BUZZ with talk of ARRL's sanctioned Desert RATS first event of the year! Our little ARRL Sanctioned Hamfest has in it's second year become the third largest ARRL Sanctioned Event in California, rivalling any Hamfest across the Western States! We anticipate an attendance of around 800! It's unique low cost 'one day' format has turned on it's ear the way Hamfests in California will be heading 'back to the future' are some predictions made . Well, the future is here in Palm Springs on January 29th. To quote attending AMSAT Representative Clint Bradford at the end of last years event: >Your Hamfest is causing many to think about the future of the 2- and 3-day conventions in our region. I mean, >you had most of what hams want at such a >gathering - and I didn't have to pay a parking fee, didn't have to pay >admission, was charged only five bucks for a lunch and only a buck for coffee ... "Compare that to, say, >PACIFICON coming up in October. >It will cost $500 for me to drive up there and stay in their hotel for two days. >Did you see what SANDARC is charging for their events? $23 for a breakfast $26 for lunch $43 bucks for dinner. $15-20 to merely walk in the door. Rooms are $135+ a night ..." (Clint will be doing satellite contact DEMOS throughout the Day) Plus the vendors have to pay about $500 to start! At Palm Springs it's free! Our gift to the Ham Community! So if you are within 4 hour driving range of Palm Springs for the price of gas + a $10 dollar bill you can .... pay your entry fee, get a raffle ticket, and a meal. Where else could you go for a full day of fun these days with only a single $10 bill? (Also see Forum site below for Hotel accommodations if you want to make a holiday out of it in warm Palm Springs!) Sure we want you to buy more raffle tickets, so maybe bring an extra $20 bill. Yes, we will have raffle draws hourly, maybe half hourly, as donations keep rolling in. By the way, we don't charge vendors to attend including Swap Meet sellers. Pass the word around, the more that attend the merrier. It will be a veritable Shopping Mall for Hams as every major product line of radios will be there for sale at vendors such as HRO which deal in all the major Ham radios available plus other related Ham gear. HamCity (a Costco style Ham store with too many products to mention), DX Store where you can buy Icom and Heil products plus more. (warranted Icom products that were manufactured can be bought at a fraction of the cost of new boxed ICOM radios), RF Stuff has any type of coax connector you could dream of plus coax, antennas ...again more stuff than I have room to mention. Numerous antenna companies. I could go on but the article would be so long your mailbox would not accept the file size. Here instead is a partial list of vendors and some activities: ** if you play an instrument or sing or have a small band come on down and join in the JAMFEST or play solo at our lounge style out door venue call Peter 760-318-0186 to book your time or just show up AMSAT- Clint Bradford -DEMO ARES ARRL- Meet all the Guys from our Division!

Maybe for a collector? I have 3 Motorola alpha-numeric dial-up pagers, slightly different models but they all do the same thing. Also a Motorola keyboard that dials the pager number and allows the caller to enter the alpha message. Let me know if you want any or all. 73 -- Paul R Ryack - W1PR, Santa Barbara, CA JE1LRT, Tokyo, Japan trustee, NN6DX email: W1PR(a)arrl.net
