[SFDXA] Hamfest.

[Bill]

Also thanks to Gil W1RG for hanging at the table, and programming my 
radio, Ed Dauer WB4HNM for attending, thanks Ed, Kai for assisting and 
Dan K1TO for not only hanging out but hanging in. And special thanks to 
Norm W4QN for making sure Mark WC3W got there on time. Sorry for those I 
missed it. Another shot at it next year.
