The holiday Inn is just now completing its renovation and will provide us a great site for our conference. The Southeastern VHF society has a guaranteed a room rate of $89 for the weekend and surrounding days if you plan to stay for a short vacation.
This $89 per night rate is good if booked by March 28, 2018 only.
And for those requiring a more economic alternative, we have a block of rooms reserved in the Super 8 at $69 per night that shares the same parking area and is walking distance from the actual Conference Center.
As usual, the conference will offer presentations, antenna and equipment testing, along with a chance to get together with other Society members through the weekend.
We expect to conduct the Best Paper and Presentation competition and will offer some great prizes along with the prizes at the Banquet. There will also be a family program this year that will visit sites of Southern Ga and North Fl.
