Each year, AES in Milwaukee has "Superfest". It's like a hamfest with
dealer booths and club tables but NO sale tables.  Anything sold will be
sold by AES.  They have a few technical presentations that are
interesting. And it's social.  

(I made the drive from Woodbury to AES in 4:45 with no stops)

The AES website is at:

And a flyer about Superfest is at:

There is a Friday portion to Superfest and the Badger Contesters have a
Pizza Suite at a nearby hotel on Friday night. So if you go all that
way, make sure you hang with the BC'ers on Friday night. I paste below
the invite W9GA made on the BC reflector.

I'll be there for the Friday and Friday evening portion only. Off to
play my first Guts Frisbee of the year at an indoor tourney in Joliet on
Saturday.

Hi All VHF crazies here in SW Wi and area around;

Many have asked, and yes, we are gathering once again this year!

I now have our suite reserved for friday April 5 at the Radisson
Milwaukee North 
shore, suite 224 just like last year,up on the second floor, above 
room 124 where we held it most years.  The Radisson is located at 7065
North Port Washington RD.
This locates the motel on the west side of Port road, just a block south
of Good Hope. 
(Amateur Electronic is on Good Hope road, at about 60th street, 
roughly 3 miles west of the motel location)
 
We are in the pool area, second floor, and the southwest corner of the
suites area. 

We get underway about 7:00 PM, and order in some pizzas from 
Calderone's down the street. I pass the hat, and would appreciate a $10
bill to help in the pizza order and room charges.
I will bring some beer and soda, but if all would like to bring extra 
beverages, and snacks, that would be great.
 
Bring your neat VHF-UHF projects, special QSL cards, ect and share in
the babble! 

Let me know who is planning, and check with your VHFer neighbors, so I
can get a head count. 

I will also be at AES briefly in the afternoon, in case anyone bumps
into me there.   

Email me here with any questions. 

Ken W9GA
