[SADXA] HAMFEST THIS SATURDAY

[Jim Wysocki]

Darrel, it was a modest hamfest but still well-attended. Sheltered 
spaces for the sellers. No rain but some drips from the gutter 
downspouts and a few puddles to navigate around. Pleasant temperatures, 
especially during the early hours.  More buyers than sellers.  It was in 
a large church parking lot, about half-full of vehicles, that provided a 
lot of space for all of the attendees.

There was lots of socializing among people, many of whom hadn't met 
face-to-face for a couple of years.  More switch-flipping than sales and 
my behavior fit into that mold as well, as I only bought a couple of 
hand tools and three turnbuckles myself.  My chief accomplishment was in 
getting a few QSL cards checked by Ron Cade.  As befitting the general 
tone of the hamfest, Ron and I had a good chat about several topics, 
mainly on DXing and propagation.  In summary, I'd say that a good time 
was had by all.
