I was until I found out they moved it. Now it's just too damn far from here.

I will be there tomorrow; this has been one of the bigger and better festers in the NE. Will (probably...if I remember to take the HT) listen on .52 and occasionally call.

[TESLA]

I'll be there right at 8am and I'll be with Kurt Jackson W1OBQ, Is there a time and place we can meet? I'm not sure if there is a coffe or food concession at the new place or how it will be set up.

[W1GUH]

Never had good luck pre-arranging a meeting at a specific time and place, especially at a new venue. I expect to get there before 8 to browse the outside tables before the inside opens and will be all in denim with a call sign badge on my shirt. Look for my LONG HIPPY HAIR.

OTOH....there's some rain in the forecast so I might be waiting in the car for the inside to open. White '92 Celica with a busted radio antenna and a K-400 mount on the hatchlip. Or...I could decide to spring for a vendor pass to get in early. Pretty much play all this by ear once I get there.

Looking forward to meeting you.

I'll just grab someone else's HT and give you a call on .52

Check your PM's. We can swap phone numbers & hook up that way. Better than HT's. Unless you don't have a cell...then we'll just have to BOL for each other.
