HI Jussi,

Kathy and I had thought about coming over, but there is just too much going on here right now.  

Russellville's hamfest use to be on that date as well and they moved it off to the ARRL SSB test.  The problem with most hamfests, is that you will plow right into someone else's hamfest if you are not careful.  Hamfest dates can be hard to adjust to at times.  

Glad you guys had a good one!

They do know about the contest now. If our club doesn't move it, I won't be there next time. For me the contest takes higher priority. I just had blindly promised to be there this year without thinking about the contest schedule.

75 percent of the people who attend, and the organizers, of the Hoxie hamfest have no clue what the ARRL International DX contest is. Another 20% don't care.

While it would be a valiant attempt, it would be futile to try to move the date for such a local event that has been established for years.

I agree with Jussi,

Need to move it off ARRL DX CW weekend. I’m having CW withdrawals…

It was great seeing everyone!

 Hi,

Yes, the winterfest went really well! Unfortunately it overlapped with the ARRL DX contest - I hope I can change that for the next time.

All cleared up now and I ready to hit the sofa ;-)
