Hello all,
I will be doing some casual operation in this contest over the weekend from the observatory, based on our club's commitment to the contest organizers to participate in it .
This contest is a little bit more old-man sympathetic than Field Day, as it actually includes an 8 hr. sleep break early Sunday morning.
Feel free to drop by and watch, or help me operate.
The Stamford Museum and Nature Center is having their Farm Day Festival this weekend as well, so if you want to drop by to visit me, come in through the rear gate on Scofieldtown Rd.
and tell the ticket collectors that you are going to the observatory to visit me, and they should wave you on by.
The festival is over by around 4:00 PM, so if you come after then, just stroll right through the observatory walkway to the observatory itself.
73,
Terry
