I didn’t know CTU was going to do a 3<sup>rd</sup> 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hi Guys,<br>
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. <br>
<br>
<b><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>Info on Dayton 2009<br>
<br>
</span>Contest University (CTU)<br>
<br>
</b> 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: <a href="http://www.contestuniversity.com/">www.contestuniversity.com</a><br>
<br>
<b>Contester's Dinner:<br>
<br>
</b> 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. <b>Isn't it great to be able to say that the <u>Louisiana</u>
<u>Contest</u> <u>Club</u> will have a table at the Contester's Dinner?</b>
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.<br>
<br>
73,<br>
Mark, K5ER<o:p></o:p></p>
