The fourteenth annual SOTA lunch (private) will be held at the San Ramon Marriott, 2600 Bishop Road, San Ramon, CA, at noon on Saturday, October 17, 2026, during Pacificon. We will be on the South patio outside the Bishop Grill, the only restaurant, as before. Access to the patio can be had by going through the restaurant or by walking to the extreme South end of the side parking lot. There is a burger, pasta and hotdog stand just outside the front door leading into the lobby, and they recommend you buy something there between 11:30 and noon, when the line gets long. Cash preferred. I’ll provide a few sandwiches for those who indicate at the time of RSVP that they are not into burgers and suchlike. I’ll also arrange for free beverages near the table. You must be a registered SOTA chaser or activator to attend, but you do not have to pay for Pacificon if you are not attending any forum presentations. Wear a name/call badge. As always, we will be joined by an Elecraft founder. This time, he is bringing an AX4 to pass around and discuss. Who wants to come? RSVP to attorneys3@aol.com
