[K3PZN-List] The Great Hagerstown Hamfest on Saturday May 1st

[Curt Milton]

Thanks for posting, Phil !  If Wx is nice I could take my spouse, who would 'advise' me on what I would bring home (I have largely recovered from any desire to acquire more relics) and we could bicycle afterwards on the Western MD rail trail ....glad my xyl is not a die-hard shopper!  

Let's see how they do on a Saturday - I would be thrilled if ONE of our two events were moved to a Saturday - but I haven't been bold enough to push it.  (I understand that some of us worship on Saturday, but I am challenged to get away for even one Sunday a year - and I know that WI3N would welcome the same thought).
