[K3PZN-List] Re: Help needed for the Mason-Dixon Hamfest -- AMSAT

Tue Oct 26 08:55:32 EDT 2004

Greetings Pat;

AMSAT is a welcome guest at the Mason-Dixon Hamfest, same as FAR, the ARRL,
and other Non-Profits like us that are actively promoting Amateur Radio.

Please plan on setting up an AMSAT booth. We'll save you two tables as
usual (unless you'd like more this year -- then let me know)

73; Steve, N3SB

Hi Steve,

Sorry I was not on the list.  Please count me in.

Sounds like a good "fun-raising" thing to do on the
morn of Halloween!

I can do whichever would be better for the club, either
set up and staff a bona fide AMSAT table or perform a
number of club tasks.  I will be available all morning
as well as a wee bit the night before.

If the club prefers the AMSAT presence then let me
know as soon as you can because I must order the goods
from headquarters and go pick them up.  Otherwise I'll
call you to sign up for specific tasks on the list.

Thanks (or BOOO),

Pat
