September 6-8, the ARRL Southwestern Division will have its SWHAMCON conference in Buellton, next to Santa Barbara. http://www.swhamcon.com/ October 11-13 is Pacificon, the ARRL Pacific Division conference, in Santa Clara. http://pacificon.org/2013/ These are similar shows, SWHAMCON might be smaller. I'll be speaking at both. Thanks Bruce
