We're holding the 'Thon in Pensacola for a few reasons,

  We have a large building at our disposal for the 'Thon.  We had a coil 
running ~11' streamers last year, *indoors*, and could probably fit 2 coils 
running 6-7' streamers.  We can run both large and small coils indoors, day 
or night, rain or shine.  We'll have some coils that have to be run 
outdoors this year just because of the sheer power level and output length 
(safety concerns), but most everything else can be run indoors.   You can 
also leave your gear locked up overnight, instead of having to pack it all 
back up that evening.
   There's affordable lodging nearby, so getting a place to stay shouldn't 
be a hassle.  We can run the coils from morning till around midnight 
without annoying any of the neighbors.  We've got plenty of 240V power to 
go around, also.  Compressed air is available, and there's plenty of 
parking.  Pensacola is also close to several other states, so it's easily 
reached by other coilers that want to come and see the Thon.

  This year we'll have 2 massive Pole pig systems, at least 2 VTTC's, and 
some smaller coils.  Bring anything HV related or simply 
interesting/oddball.  We had a Sterling Engine at one year's thon (in 
Clearwater, FL), a ~150kV Cockroft Walton machine, James's Super-Rockin' 
vertical Toob Coil, and lots of fun!

   It's well worth the trip, even from Southern Florida.   Hope to see all 
the coilers and Geek Group members in the SouthEast in attendance!
