The Fest dinner on Saturday night will again be packed with great entertainment, slanted as much to wives and partners as to hard-core radio buffs.
The radio market will open at 9:00am on Sunday and members can pre-book selling tables as advised in 'Radio Waves'. There will also be professionally presented workshops. Some of the items available for sale can be seen in this listing.
Further details about the Fest can be found in the yellow section of the July issue of Radio Waves..
