In my conversation with Brian last night he mentioned that he felt that a lot of people are all "spent out" by the time the banquet comes along and the best time/place to buy tickets was beforehand. I don't think we'll see an auction this year although I wouldn't count it out either... <br>

<div>Great idea, Derek - </div>
<div>... Any chance of an auction at the Nats banquet this year? Never saw a top of the line radio get sold 3 times in any other venue...! </div>

<div>Brian Clemmons has solicited a number of great raffle prizes which will be raffled off all over the US. I've heard that there are at least 3 radios, an OS-200, a YS-170, and a Black Magic kit amongst the prizes. The actual drawing for the raffle prize winners will take place at the Nationals in July. You do NOT have to be present to win. The NSRCA board is arranging for each district VP to get tickets and these will be sold at local contests. The hope is that several people in each district will help out their DVP's by selling tickets at contests that the DVP won't be able to get to... </div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you don't see tickets for sale at any local contests then please contact Brian Clemmons at <a href="mailto:wincons@aol.com" target="_blank">wincons@aol.com</a> and he'll be more than happy to sell you tickets. The proceeds from these raffle ticket sales will be used to help defray the costs of each of the team members - this is an expensive endeavor, unfortunately, and the team can use all the help they can get.</div>
