the 2020 Winter SWL Fest (First Notice!) One celebration is over
(Thanksgiving), so it’s time to turn our attention tothe next great
celebration. No, not Hanukah. No, not Christmas.The 33rd Annual Winter SWL
Fest! Once again, we invite one and all to be a part of the Winter SWL
FestFebruary 27 - 29, 2020 at the Doubletree Guest Suites in fashionable
Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania. Also again, due to popular demand, we have
kept the extra half day, opening the event on Thursday afternoon and continuing
through all of Friday and Saturday. Details and background info, as well as
regular updates, are and will be at <www.swlfest.com>.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—those inour wonderful obsession with a deep and
abiding interest in radio and a willingness to share their experiences,
knowledge and know how.So, how about it? Have you a topic that you think Fest
participants will find interesting and would be willing to present? Tell us
about it. Ifyou’ve already contacted us, chances are we have your e-mail on
file.However, chances are also that we don’t. (I turned 66 this year, so don’t
you dare trust my memory!) Even if you have run something by us in the year
since Fest 32, please re-contact and remind us at this time just to make sure.
(Chip Arey and Mark Fahey… this doesn’t apply to you.)As usual, 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 serious (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 (which consists of Rich Cuff, yours truly and Geoff Peterson, the now
sadly outof work sidekick to Craig Ferguson on CBS’s Late Late Show. (It really
is a shame how he was just abandoned entirely by Craig when he departedthe
show. If you can believe it, Geoff is just a skeleton of his former self.) We
are seeking your help in fashioning a balanced and diverse line-up of topicsand
speakers.Make your suggestion/proposal to John Figliozzi at
<jfigl...@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.
We've learned that people tend to unfairly and inaccurately minimize their own
abilities. 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 once we are
able to survey the field.Be a part of the 2019 Winter SWL Fest program!73 and
