For those who have nothing to do this weekend, or who are looking for
something to do, there is an event in Concord this weekend that some of
you might be interested in.

It is called PacifiCon '92 and it is being held at the Concord Hilton
Hotel on October 16th, 17th and 18th.  Some of you may have heard of the
hobby of Amateur [ or Ham ] Radio.  This is their equavalent of the ALA
conference a couple of months ago.  Radio hobbists from all over the
country [ and some from around the world ] will be in attendance to see
the latest in equipment from the major manufacters and displays of the
various type of communication the hobby entails.  From CW [ morse code ]
to packet [ we have our own version of TCP/IP protocol ] to Amatuer
TeleVision [ want to be on TV ? ]

This Friday, October 16th being the first anniversary of the Oakland Hills
Fire and the third anniversary of the Loma Preita Earthquake gives this
convention its theme of 'EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS'.  There will be lectures
on what to expect in a large scale disaster [ such as loss of basic
services as power and/or water ], how to prepare and protect yourself and
your family and Civil response to disasters.

If you are unable to attend, you might still be able to watch.

How you ask?  Well, if you have a cable ready TV or VCR, an outside
antenna, and a fairly clear view of Mt. Diablo, here is how.

Hook up your outside antenna to your TV or VCR and aim it at Mt. Diablo.
Tune your TV to cable channel 58 and enjoy the show!  Much of the events
of the conference will be televised continously [ barring equipment
failures ] for the three days.

All this for only $5.00 . . . .  Such a Deal!

Hope to see you there!
