[HCRA] HCRA Boxboro Trip

[Ed LaCombe]

Every two years during even numbered years the New England Convention  Aka 
Boxboro is held. This has been going on for a long time as many  of us know. Now 

that 2010 is here, it‛s a Boxboro year! You need to  make time to attend! The 
sunspot cycle is on the upswing, more DX is  coming in; more exciting HF 
contacts 

are to be made. To do that you  need to listen in on a seminar for the latest 
techniques, maybe  upgrade and buy some new gear, string out those antennas; 
talk 

with  the big name reps. Boxboro is about 80 minutes from the Springfield  area. 

But if you don‛t feel like driving, take the HCRA van instead.  Let someone else 

do the driving while you sit back and chat with  the others. Enjoy a nice sit 
down dinner (tbd where) on the way  home. It‛s a fun and exciting trip and not 
to 

be missed!
