Transmitter hunting will be a prominent part of the ARRL Southwestern Division Convention, September 9 - 11, 2005 at the Riverside Convention Center in Riverside, California.

Joe Moell K0OV presents "What's New in Radio Direction Finding?" on Saturday at 1:00 PM in the Citrus Heritage room. Included will be photos and stories of the USA and IARU Region 2 ARDF Championships in Albuquerque at the beginning of August.

Jay Thompson W6JAY will speak about "Getting Started in ARDF" on Saturday at 8:30 AM. Hear him tell about his trips to the World Championships.

Marvin Johnston KE6HTS will lead a pair of two-hour workshops where you can build your own tape-measure RDF yagi for two meters or another VHF/UHF band. You can also learn about offset attenuators there. If you can't attend his workshop on Saturday at 9:30 AM, there will be another at the same time on Sunday.

All of the above presentations will be in the Citrus Heritage room.

The official convention transmitter hunt will be an all-on-foot one-fox event on Saturday at 5:30 PM, put on by the Citrus Belt Amateur Radio Club.

Will there also be some unofficial hunts? Keep an ear on 146.565 MHz. See you there.
