In Case any of the North woods faithful feel like a road trip.......

Hi all VHF/UHF weak signal ops, and Badger Contesters;

Just wanted to remind everybody of our group gathering held in conjunction with AES Superfest;

Be sure to pencil in the evening of Friday, April 9, 2010, for the annual Badger Contester VHF group pizza party.  This gathering has been running for at least the last 15 years, and in the same place. I have reserved the pool suite #124 at the Radisson Milwaukee North Shore at 7065 North Port Washington road.  This fun event is a chance to get together with many of the voices that you hear on the VHF bands, on the nets, and during the contests.  The Radisson is still in the same spot, just east of I43 in Glendale, north/east side of Milwaukee, and just south of Good Hope road.  Thanks to Ray K9KHW, who gets us a reduced room rate for the venue.

We kick off the gathering around 7 PM, and pass the hat ($10 suggested) for donations to buy pizza and help pay for the room.  Bring some goodies or beverages to share, and also your show and tell items, rigs, QSL's ect, ect.

Let me know if you are thinking of attending, I don't have a head count yet, but several have mentioned coming, including several from out of town (K9JK, WB8BZK, W9FZ and maybe some of the LaCrosse gang) who are coming in to share in the fun and games.  Bring some drinks to share, and any snack that you have for the gang.  We also encourage you to bring your latest VHF related project, 10 gig dish, neat QSLs, ect.

Again;  The Radisson on Port Washington Road, just south of Good Hope Road, Friday the 9rd, at 7 PM, pool suite 124, see you there, and pse RSVP.  I also plan on being at Amateur Electronics Superfest earlier in the day for a few hours, and again on Saturday, along with KC9BQA.
