[FLham] Re: Alternative to Absurd Ham Flea Start Times?

[gjyoung@cfl.rr.com]

Actually, you are right!   Two (click-click) Tailgates in one!  And the people
from the first tailgate can pack up their stuff and sell it at the second
tailgate :).  Then we all break for lunch on the hibachi and do a mini field
day!!!!! Then at night the die-hards can stay and do some 2 meter moonbounce
:)!  You kow they say you're not a real man (or woman) until you've moonbounced
on 2 meters....

Wheres it at, i'm there!
