[Elecraft] Elecraft at Pacificon, CA, Hamfest this weekend

[O. Johns]

Johnny,

Just back from Pacificon.  Heard (and an official looking sign said the same) that Pacificon will be in Santa Clara, CA, next year.  This is down the peninsula from San Francisco.  A rumor is that next year the ARRL National Convention will be combined with Pacificon.  So, yes, this might be a hamfest to attend, IMHO.

73,

Oliver  W6ODJ
