We would like your help in making this years event surpass the 600 attendee mark to beat last years event!~

Could you please forward the attached information sheet by e-mail to all your members… perhaps mention it on your NET… publish it in your Newsletter…list it on your Events Calendar…link our site on yours and mention it at your next couple of meetings! Helping us get the word out would really be great! The mild desert weather is perfect at that time of year. Make it a club outing!

On air NETS are already a -buzz tell your pals.

Our Swap Meet was a big draw last year as well, with over 40 vendors selling their wares. There is room for more so bring your stuff (no fee charged to sellers means better prices for you!) We have a consignment table with experienced Hams selling for you if you want us to sell your gear for a small fee.~~We almost sold out last year.

Lest I forget, we have a gourmet food service at a bargain price. Raffles every hour. Our event as all about great deals in these tough times.

This year we’ll have ICOM, Yaesu, HRO , DX Store, Byonics, RF Stuff, AMSAT, ARRL, Alpine Antennas and more...the list is getting longer ~~check our website for up to date announcements at http://desertrats.am

Come join us for a fun Day with some great buying opportunities! It is worth the drive! Meet Gordon West, Clint Bradford " the Satellite Guy", Leo Meyers and all the ARRL guys from our Division.
