Maricopa Live Steamers
Winterfest 2009, 3rd Annual Operations Meet


You are invited to participate in the 3rd Annual Operations Meet to be held January 14 - 18th, 2009 at
Maricopa Live Steamers in Phoenix, AZ. This is an open invitation meet but all attending people must
pre-register regardless of their participation. (If you are bringing your wife, girlfriend, children, etc, they
must also be pre-registered even if they do NOT plan on participating in the operation sessions).
Everyone must be pre-registered by January 5th, 2009
Lunches will be your responsibility. Dinners will be catered on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings.
Money for catered meals should be sent with your registration. If you need to cancel, please do so before
January 5th, 2009 to receive a refund on your meal money. You do not have to sign up for the catered
meals but if you do not, you will be responsible for your own dinners on those nights. Please note that you
will not be able to sign up for catered meals past January 5th, 2009.
We look forward to seeing you in January. Please RSVP as soon as possible with a check or money order.
We can only guarantee 90 operating positions. If we receive more than 90 participating registrants, we will
rotate the additional participants in to the operation sessions.
We use FRS radios with assigned channels from 3-10 with privacy code 10. Exact channel assignments
will be listed in the operation time table. You will also want to bring a flashlight, warm clothing, rain gear,
(it does rain in Phoenix occasionally) (ask our 1st operation participants) and anything else you need to
have fun in the cooler winter temperatures. Please review our operating and safety rules on our website.

  Having trouble opening, viewing or printing Adobe Acrobat documents? This may help.

Windows users: If you have installed Adobe Acrobat Reader correctly and are experiencing difficulties downloading, viewing or printing Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) files, there are two possible solutions. Here are instructions which should solve any problems you are experiencing. Please apply them in the order they are listed:

Your version of Adobe Acrobat Reader should be at least version 4.x. Better yet, obtain version 7.x. Here are instructions to determine what version you are using:
1. Open the Adobe Acrobat Reader on your desktop.
2. Click on the Help Menu and select "About Acrobat Reader."

You may obtain the current version at no cost from Adobe's web site.

If your version of Acrobat is current and your browser is Netscape Navigator, please apply the following steps:
1. Click on the Netscape browser's Options menu, then click on "Network Preferences," and finally click on the "Cache" tab of the "Network Preferences" window. Make sure the check box labeled "Allow Persistent Caching of Pages Retrieved Through SSL" is checked.
2. In the same window, click on the "Clear Memory Cache Now" button and then on the "OK" button. Next, click on "Clear Disk Cache Now," and then the "OK" button.
3. Click "OK" again in order to close the "Preferences" window.
4. Exit your browser and then restart it. You should now be able to view the .pdf file. Adobe Acrobat will launch as a separate application to view PDF files, rather than within the browser window.

Mac users: If you have Adobe Acrobat Reader version 4.x or later, simply double click the .pdf documents to download, read and print them. Adobe Acrobat Reader for Mac OS 9 or X is available from Adobe's web site.
