[HCRA] Boxboro

[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!
