<div style="margin-bottom:0in;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">On behalf of the Central States VHF Society I invite you to attend our 53rd annual CSVHF Society conference to be held in Lincoln, Nebraska. Our last visit to Lincoln was 31 years ago, 1988, for our very successful 22nd annual conference. Lincoln is centrally located in the USA and is within an easy day or two driving distance of most centrally located USA cites. Lincoln also features a major airport.</font></div>

<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">
Our 2019 conference will be held on July 25th through July 27 at the Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Lincoln North Hotel and Conference Center, located at 5353 North 27th Street in Lincoln, Nebraska. The conference will feature all of the activities that previous conferences have had including technical presentations, antenna range testing, preamp measurements, vendor exhibits, both a VHF101 and a Microwave101 educational seminar for those who may be new to weak signal operations, Rover Row, Dish Row, luncheons with hosted speakers, a family program for non-hams, a Saturday night banquet, and a VHF/UHF/Microwave swap fest. In addition, the conference offers a great opportunity to socialize with like minded weak signal VHF+ operators.</font></div>
