[HCRA] Picnic & Radios on Mt. Sugarloaf next Sunday!

[Larry Krainson]

All members and friends of the clubs (FCARC & HCRA) are welcome.  Bring
your spouse.  It's a fun place for kids too.  Dogs are permitted on leash.

You might want to come early as parking on the summit is limited.  If you
need a ride up, give a call on 146.52.

Please consider bringing something for the potluck.  We'll be cooking
burgers and hotdogs.  Bacon for the cheeseburgers while it lasts.  Also,
please bring your favorite beverage (no alcohol).  Plenty of ice available.

Thanks to Chuck Allen (KC1OSJ) for coordinating (and cooking) the food.

PLEASE RSVP TO : bc at councilman.com

<https://www.mass.gov/locations/mount-sugarloaf-state-reservation>

Parking at the base is free.  Parking on the summit is pay and display: $5
MA plates, $20 non-MA.  Late arrivals may find the summit lot full and need
a ride up.  We'll be monitoring 146.52.

We'll be grilling hot dogs and burgers under a roofed pavilion.  Please
bring your favorite pot-luck dish and folding chair.  AC power is available.

This is also an operating event.  Lots of trees for wire antennas and
unobstructed VHF/UHF access to most of the horizon.

SOTA enthusiasts might want to activate nearby Pocumtuck Rock
