Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor (and SWL Festmeister–!) Richard Cuff, who writes:<\/p>\n

Announcing a radio-related event that might interest folks here:<\/p>\n

Registration now available for 32nd Annual Winter SWL Fest, to be held February 28th – March 2nd, 2019 at the Doubletree Suites Philadelphia West hotel in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania. Even though the Fest has its roots in shortwave, our theme is now “Radio In All Its Forms.” We believe we’re the largest remaining gathering of radio enthusiasts left, and we hope you can join us!<\/p>\n

We’re sticking with the formula that’s worked for the past two years: Formal events will begin roughly midday Thursday, February 28th, with the concluding banquet and raffle Saturday evening, March 2nd. It will be a while before the forum topics for the 32nd Fest are fleshed
\nout, but the program for 2018 is available as a reference for you to see what to expect.<\/p>\n

You can register online and pay via PayPal at the website, http:\/\/swlfest.com<\/a>; if you’re “old school” you can download and print off a paper registration form at the site and send in via Postal mail.<\/p>\n

Do try and have your hotel and event registrations finished by January 25th; the special rate for Fest hotel rooms expires about that date, and rooms will likely be more expensive or even unavailable after that. Event registration fees also increase as of that date.<\/p>\n

Links to an e-mail discussion group and our Facebook group appear on the right of the Fest website, if you have any questions or want to learn more about the event from those who have been there before.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thank you, Rich!\u00a0 You can count on my attendance! I look forward to the Winter SWL Fest each year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
