[AMRadio] hamfest?

[Mark K3MSB]

I'm saddend to hear that about Berryville;  My buddy and I make the long
trek each year for that fester, and it's always has a nice sampling of BA
gear.

I started going to Timonium in 2000 when I moved here, and I've seen it go
downhill steadily.   They will not allow any outdoor tailgating this year;
that's going to kill it I'm afraid.
