[R-390] Hosstraders hamfest/gear clamps?

[John KA1XC]

Hi Todd,
yes I will be at Fall Hosstraders too....just barely.

My YL's sister picked that Saturday to get married, the NERVE of her!!!  So
I'll be there Friday, but only because I'm eeking out of the wedding party
(which I'm not in ) rehearsal and dinner.

Fortunately, its's OK with the YL as she is very 390 and radio friendly, and
it looks like we'll be setting our own date in October 2004, and yes I've
already "reserved" the first two weekends to keep them clear for
Hosstraders.

I'll keep an eye out for you guys and an ear too on 146.445.

:^)
John
