[K3PZN-List] Hamfest This Sunday > Re: Sunday

[Kilroy, Patrick L. (GSFC-5680)]

Hey, all,

Had a good time at the hamfest yesterday.  I got 
a lot of compliments about the good turn out, and 
of course, the great weather.  A lot of those 
attending had a very good time; many were quite 
vocal about it!  

Good working with you fellas.  

Just for the record, I too would be able to put 
in more hours of support if the hamfest were on 
a Saturday morning instead of a Sunday.  

BTW, if you didn't hear me raving about it, the 
KB3VTP-11 high-altitude balloon experiment two 
days ago was with lots of technical drama but 
ended up as an outstanding success.  Had superb 
extemporaneous local support from the hams in the 
Harrisburg, PA area (from their 6.97 repeater).  

The balloon landed in the woods immediately north 
of Ski Roundtop!  

Cheers, 

Pat

(this is a second attempt - first one never made it)

I hear that Saturday isn't good for Jews as it's the Sabbath.

If all goes well, I'd like to demonstrate 10 meters mobile at the
hamfest. Figure on about 1100. The sun will be up and the
F layer good and ionized. Any later and the folks will be leaving.
