Guys, can't wait for the weekend to get here, as this is Pacificon weekend
and the time that we all get together for the NorCal QRP Forum.  We have a
great time planned and look forward to seeing all of you there.  Lots of
exciting activities planned.

Friday night: No host banquet planned by Dr. Megacycle.  This will be held
at the California Burger in Pleasanton.  We will eat at 6:30 or so.  If
you need directions, meet me in the hotel lobby at 5:30.  If you can give
someone a ride, please meet us there at that time.

Afterwards we will return to the QRP Hospitality room for our Vendor
Night.  Free tables for all vendors.  If you sell QRP stuff, you are
welcome.  Samarai Sam Imai, Pacific Antennas, W6MMA Antennas, Hendricks
QRP Kits, NorCal will all be there, plus others I am sure.

Plus, Dan Tayloe will be there with the very first NorCal 2030 built,
working and in the case!!  We will be raffling off this radio on Saturday
night at the auction.  Tickets only sold at the event.

And, Bob Okas will be unveiling the newest NorCal Kit, the FCC-1.  We will
have these kits there and ready to sell.

Pickin' and grinnin' at 10:00 PM in the hospitality room.  If you play an
acoustic instrument or harmonica, come and join us.
