Subject: [Swlfest] 2014 Fest Casting Call
 
Once again, we invite one and all to be a part of the 2014 Winter SWL
Fest on March 14 and 15, 2014 at the Doubletree  Guest Suites in
fashionable Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania. That's 84 days away as I
type this. 
 
As you know, one of the centerpieces of the Fest weekend is our line-
up of informative and entertaining forums.  How do we get them? These 
excellent sessions are put together and presented by you and people just
like  you--people with a deep and abiding interest in radio and a 
willingness to share what they've experienced, learned and know.
 
So, how about it?  Have you a topic that you think Fest participants 
will find interesting and would like to present?  Tell us about it.
 
Your role will be to lead a one hour session forum.  That means 
preparing about a half-hour presentation that leaves plenty of time 
for audience questions and interaction.  It can be anything from a
straight (or comic) lecture (or both) to a multimedia extravaganza.
Your choice!
 
And as a gesture of appreciation (and perhaps some measure of small 
compensation for your efforts), the Fest will comp your registration 
fee if your proposal is accepted by the Organizing Committee for 
inclusion in the 2014 program.
 
Make your suggestion/proposal to John Figliozzi at <jfiglio1@nycap.rr.com   
If you have any questions, we'll be happy to discuss them with you. And even
if you've never led a forum before, don't hesitate...from personal  experience
we've learned that people tend to unfairly and inaccurately minimize their 
own abilities in this area.  We know you'll be great...but you have to 
let us in on what you're thinking!  We promise a quick turnaround on 
your proposal.
 
Be a part of the 2014 Winter SWL Fest program!
 
73 and 88 to the Ladies

Not a bad idea. We could probably make some money selling autographs and letting the fans pose with us for pictures.

Not to mention the evils of SDRs.
