WCF SECTION PRESS RELEASE #26-19
FIRST ANNUAL ARRL WEST CENTRAL FLORIDA SECTION ARES CONFERENCE (ARESCON) SCHEDULED.
The ARRL West Central Florida Section will be hosting the first and hopefully annual ARES conference, which is being called ARESCON, on Saturday May 16, 2026 at the Hillsborough Public Service Operations Complex (PSOC), located at 9450 E Columbus Dr., Tampa, FL 33619, between 1300 EDT and 1600 EDT. A pizza luncheon is planned before ARESCON for those who wish to participate, with a recommended donation of $5, to cover the cost of the pizza. A conference agenda will be published about one week before ARESCON, once the conference agenda has been finalized.
An ARESCON webpage has been added to the Section website which contains information about ARESCON, which will include a conference schedule, list of presentations, and any slide presentations or handouts, once they are finalized. The ARESCON webpage can be found at https://arrlwcf.org/wcfarescon.
If you plan to attend, please fill out the registration form at https://arrlwcf.org/wcfaresconregistration/. If you plan on attending the ARESCON Luncheon, please indicate that option on your registration form so we will have a headcount and know how much pizza to order. If you have suggested topics or questions you’d like us to cover, send an email to Dave Rockwell, Section Emergency Coordinator, at w4pxe@arrl.net.
