FIRST ANNUAL WEST CENTRAL FLORIDA SECTION TECHNICAL CONFERENCE – AN OUTSTANDING SUCCESS

The First Annual West Central Florida Section Technical Conference was held on Saturday April 4, 2015 at the Bert J. Harris Agri-Civic Center in Sebring (Highlands County).  According to Geoff Haines N1GY, West Central Florida Section Technical Coordinator, the conference was “an outstanding success”.

The following gave presentations at the conference:  Bob Allison WB1GCM, ARRL Laboratory, Geoff Haines N1GY, West Central Florida Section Technical Coordinator, Darrell Davis KT4WX, Section Manager and Technical Specialist, Ben Henley KI4IGX, Assistant Section Manager and Technical Specialist, Larry Lazar KS4NB, and John Chaput KK4LI.

The conference had 42 registered via the Section website and 43 that checked in to the conference.  At one point an unofficial head count showed 48 in attendance.  The conference was well received by all who attended and everyone is looking forward to attending next year.   The Second Annual West Central Florida Section Technical Conference will be held in early 2016 and will be in either Hillsborough or Pinellas County. Many of our speakers are tentatively slated to return next year including Bob Allison WB1GCM, with new presentations.  As soon as the date, time, and location are determined, that information will be published on the Section website and announced in a WCF SECTION PRESS RELEASE.
