Friday, October 17

Lobster Gauge: Will the mini- mum legal size of lobsters be in- creased, as a Maine law seeks to do, or will the proposal be shot down by other states? Panelists will try to pin down the future of the gauge.

Changes in Fishery Manage- ment: Fundamental changes in the way we manage fisheries are neces- sary, according to many fishermen and managers alike. Speakers will examine the changes that are likely over both short and long terms.

Troubleshooting Diesels: Ex- perts will offer some tips for pre- venting and repairing some of the diesel engine problems that could mean being towed back to port.

Saturday, October 18

Working Skiffs: Marine spe- cialists Sherrill Smith and Tim

Visel will discuss drags, dredges, and trawl gear for skiffs.

The exhibit hall will be open from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm daily, with the seminars beginning at 10:30 am each day. At the first day's closing on

October 15, the Fish Expo Recep- tion will get under way in the Bay- side Exposition Center Ballroom, ending at 8:00 pm. Tickets to the two-hour reception are limited and should be ordered in advance, at $20 each.

It is also a good idea for Fish Expo visitors to register for the show in advance, eliminating a wait in line and the $5 registration fee that is charged at the door. For pre-regis- tration forms and reception tickets, contact National Fisherman Expo- sitions at (207) 772-3005.

Bayside Exposition Center should prove advantageous to exhibitors and visitors alike, especially those driving to the show from other parts of New England. The center is just off the Southeast Expressway south of downtown Boston, and has park- ing facilities for 2,000 cars. For those who will be staying in Boston but not driving to the show, shuttle buses will be making regular daily runs to the Bayside Center from major hotels in the city.

TAKE YOU

The best way to deal with bad weather at sea is to avoid it. And Alden's new Marinefax" TR I gives you the information you need to plan your best and safest course.

A Wealth Of Information

With your Marinefax TR I, you can receive a wide variety of charts, available free from over 50 govern- ment transmitters worldwide.

Charts not just on weather, but on sea conditions as well. Surface an- alyses and prognoses let you avoid storms or take advantage of favor- able winds. Gulf Stream and other oceanographic charts, as well as wave height and direction charts, show you the speediest and most comfortable course.

Beyond comfort and safety, weather charts can help plan a course to minimize fuel con- sumption. And fishermen will especially appreciate sea tempera- ture information to show the most likely hot spots.

Automatic Reception

Marinefax TR I is a new genera- tion of weather chart recorder from

Alden. It features a unique micro- processor that lets you program the recorder to automatically receive the exact charts you want. You tell the recorder when to come on, what frequency to receive, when to change frequency, and when to go off. You get your maps, whether you're onboard or ashore.

Programming is easy, with the

LCD display leading you through the steps. Yet despite this sophisti- cation, Marinefax TR I is the smallest weather chart recorder on the market.

Improved Frequency Selection

Recall any transmitter frequency you like just by hitting two buttons.

Or store up to ten stations of your own choice for one-button recall.

And the TR I has a new, improved radio. Fine tuning is incredibly sim- ple: just push the button for precise, 0.1 kHz changes until you optimize reception. The frequency then locks in, eliminating the "drift" common to many other radio receivers.

New Paper

Our new Alfax thermal paper is dry for easy storage, and produces bright, high- resolution maps.

Thermal printing is exceptionally quiet, and provides for simple and inexpensive operation.

Alden Reliability

For over 40 years Alden has specialized in weather products, serving not only mariners, but pro- fessional meteorologists as well. Our one-year warranty is followed by a unique, fixed-price service plan, no matter how old your Marinefax is.

Before you have to face another storm at sea, find out more about

Marinefax. Contact your local dealer, or contact Alden Electronics, 130

Washington Street, Westborough,

MA 01581 (617) 366-8851.
