[LCC] CTU 2009

[Charles Morrison]

Hey Mark, great info, thanks again!


I didn't know CTU was going to do a 3rd year, or are they starting over
first year?  I wasn't planning on taking it again, unless the courses go
beyond the first and second years.


About the table, that's an awesome idea.  I personally usually get a table
as the Lafayette crew (with Arkansas, Texas and maybe Mississippi ex-pat's
thrown in) usually fills one up.  If you get a table for the club, we'll
need to inform Tim, if possible, to put them together.  Now of course,
that'll mean that they're pretty far in the back, as the big boys are
usually in front, but it'd be nice to be together.

Hi Guys,
        Its almost Christmas, and I hope everybody is getting excited. My
Christmas wish for you is that everyone gets all the Ham toys and wishes you
asked Santa for - unless you wished to beat me in the contest. 

Info on Dayton 2009

Contest University (CTU)

        I'd like to inform the club that registrations for CTU 2009 are now
open!  I've already sent mine in. They had increased capacity last year, but
I think they still had to turn folks away due to limited space. If you plan
to attend CTU, I highly encourage you to get your reservation in early. It
only takes a couple of minutes to pay online and secure your spot. My first
year up, it was almost overwhelming. I walked into the room and there beside
me was K1TTT, and W3LPL was a couple of rows back. K1DG, K5ZD and a number
of other CTU Professors that K3LR (and the CTU board) put together shared an
incredible amount of knowlege and experience with the students. This is your
chance to learn from the very best contesters in the world! I've now been
two years and can tell you, "Its worth the trip".  The site is:
www.contestuniversity.com <http://www.contestuniversity.com/> 

Contester's Dinner:

        Although the club is not going to absorb the cost, we will be
reserving a table for the Contester's dinner in the club's name. Isn't it
great to be able to say that the Louisiana Contest Club will have a table at
the Contester's Dinner? Once registration opens (January), and we confirn
how many a table holds (8-10?), we'll see how many club members desire a
seat and accept payments. I'll provide more info as soon as it becomes
available. If you are already planning to attend and want a seat (which
should run about $37-$40) go ahead and let me know so I will have a better
idea of how many to expect. If you don't want to tell the world by
responding through the reflector, reply to "my call" at ARRL.net.

73,
Mark, K5ER
