“The Northwest’s Largest Ham Convention”
Since
1982 with the first ever SEA-PAC Ham Convention, it has grown into one
of the largest Amateur Radio conventions on the Pacific Northwest Coast.
In addition to our free seminars on Saturday,
this year we will also be offering four free 90 minute seminars
on Friday. This
year, we will also be offering a seminar
on Sunday morning on Antenna types for portable use during an emergency
with commentary on the operating characteristics of each type. All of
our seminars are free to all registered convention attendees.
Plan to come early on Friday for the All
You Can Eat Spaghetti Dinner Fund
Raiser for Clatsop County ARES. This dinner will take place at Seaside
Fire Hall, 150 S. Lincoln, walking distance from the convention center.
Serving 4:30 PM until 8:30 PM. Also, you won't want to miss the famous
"BAT WALK" presented by Curt Black WR5J starting at 8:30 PM
at Mill Pond Park. All this, in addition to our free seminars on Saturday.
As always, we have a large number of new equipment
dealers and flea market tables.
Also,
on Saturday evening there is a large dinner banquet
with a guest speaker. We are pleased to announce that the banquet
guest speaker for the 2009 SEA-PAC Ham Convention will be KEX radio personality,
Paul Linnman.
