[South Florida DX Association] The Gathering of Friends is near

[Esteban Romagni]

So, it is Saturday night after the Miami hamfest, and you wondering where
can you go to brag about how easy it was to work that P5? ( and how I still
need it) or just to chill out with some of your ham friends and listen to
stories about expeditions, antennas, or hear some of my childhood stories.
Well, you sure can not miss the biggest DX gathering of who's who  in the
south:


The South Florida DX Association is very proud to be hosting the now
world-renowned Gathering of Friends �AKA DX Dinner�, Saturday February 7.

The Happy DX Hour and Gathering of Friends dinner will be at La Giraldilla
Restaurant & Caf�, located just 4 miles south west from the hamfest (4292 SW
152 AV) -- See details directions below this message.

The attire like always is Hamfest casual, the food choices are Spanish (from
Spain) and the typical Cuban-American Cuisine. Happy hour will be at the
restaurant Bar from 5:00 until 6:30 pm, and if you wish to stay around,
dinner will start right after that in our private front room.

If you attended last years feast, you sure know that this is an event that
you cannot miss.

Even if you cannot stay for dinner, come to the Cocktail Party and have a
cerveza, sangria, mojito or an 807 (or a 4-400A) with your friends. There
will be several great door prizes given out during the cocktail party and
through out dinner as well as a surprise visit from a famous DXpeditioner.

There is no fixed dinner menu or minimum price - order what you want from
the Spanish menu (yes, it is in English and Spanish) and you pay for your
separate check. (In addition, I will be there to help translate like past
years�)

booth of the South Florida DX Association at the entrance of the
hamfest, we will have details maps for all of you... and in case you need
further assistance the frequency is 147.330 (simplex). See you there!
