[Lowfer] New England Get-together

[Mike Staines]

Sorry that this post might be off-topic for some of you but it is the only
way I know to reach all the New Englanders and nearby Canadians, including
the lurkers.

The New England Lowfers will be gathering at the Hosstraders Ham Radio Flea
market on Saturday, May 4th at the Hopkinton (NH) fairgrounds. We will meet
at the Sound trailer at 10:00 and probably mosey over to the picnic area
nearby. Everyone is encouraged to attend. Guest speakers will be William
"Loopey" Ashlock and John "Laser-TAG" Andrews.

For those of you who have never been to a Hosstraders event, you are missing
something. It starts mid-day on Friday and runs straight through the night
until about 3:00 Saturday afternoon. Deals are made by flashlight at 3:30 in
the morning, I kid you not. All proceeds are handled by the Shriners. They
pay the bills then keep the remainder for the Boston and Quebec Burn
centers. I think they average about $10,000 a year to the hospitals.

Questions and directions can be sent to me directly.
