Subj: [Alexandria Radio Club  Reflector] HAMFEST: Winterfest 2014 - Feb 23, 
2014 - Annandale, VA


Hello,

I'm writing to let you know about Winterfest,  an annual ham radio flea
market in Northern Virginia that allows hams and  other makers to get
together and find some bargains on radios, antennas,  radio-related
publications, test gear and components. This regional hamfest  typically
attracts 500-1000 attendees, with both commercial and hobbyist  vendors
selling radio equipment at indoor tables and at an outdoor  tailgating area.
This year, in addition to the indoor and tailgating sales,  we're trying 
some
programming on technical topics. If this is popular, we  will expand it next
year.





More details are available  online  at
<http://www.viennawireless.org/winterfest.php>
http://www.viennawireless.org/winterfest.php,  but here are the essentials:

DATE: February 23, 2014. Tailgating starts  at 6 am, the indoor sales area
opens at 8 am. The event wraps up at 2 pm,  but come early for the best
stuff.

LOCATION: Northern Virginia  Community College, Annandale Campus, 8333 
Little
River Turnpike Annandale,  VA. Talk-in on the 146.91 repeater. GPS
coordinates are 38.833216N,  77.236872W.

COST: Tickets are $7 at the door. Outdoor tailgating spots  are $15, and
available the day of the event. Tables are $25. One indoor  admission is
included in the cost of tailgate or table.

SPONSOR:  This event is run by the Vienna Wireless Society, a not-for-profit
ham  radio club located in Northern Virginia. This is an ARRL-affiliated
event.  The proceeds from this event help support the activities of the
Vienna  Wireless Society, which include community service, emergency
preparedness,  and technical innovation.

*Tables Available*:  We still have some  indoor table spots available. Have
radio-related stuff to sell: radios,  antennas, parts for home brewing?
Spread your treasures on our eight-foot  tables (and the floor under them!).
Reserve a table by contacting   <mailto:tablesales2014 at viennawireless.org>
tablesales2014 at viennawireless.org.  Please, keep the merchandise topical:
radios, electronic parts, test gear,  etc.

For the last two years, we have reached out to area ham  exclusively by
emails. I don't want to bother people unnecessarily, so if  you'd prefer not
to get these email messages, please reply and I can take  your address off
the distribution list. This is the only email we're  sending out this year,
so please copy it into your calendar app and/or  stick it on your fridge.



I'd appreciate it if you could mention  this event at club events and to 
your
friends, because word of mouth is our  best means of letting people know
about this hamfest.

TNX ES 73 DE  AI4SV,

Jack Welch,
Winterfest Coordinator
Vienna Wireless  Society
