AF6PU: "Pacificon specifically is a forum driven event and
we have fantastic speakers from all over the country. We've
had Nobel Laureates and astronauts and all sorts of folks
come out and talk about whatever you are into in amateur
radio we are going to have something for you."

The New Media and Social Networking gathering takes place at
7 P.M. on Friday night, October 12th. The location is in
