South Florida DX Association Picnic

Location:    Quiet Waters Park
                   Shelter "I" (Ibis)
                   401 South Powerline Road
                   Deerfield Beach, FL 33442

Date:        Sunday, October 20th, 2024
Time:        12:00-16:00

Directions:

The park is a big one!  Enter at the main entrance (Address above).  After going through the gate, turn right. You will travel approximately 1.1 miles on the main road.  You will go by the water park on the left and later, through a lockable gate.  The parking for Shelter "I" is approximately 1000 feet beyond the lockable gate, on the left. There will be a sign saying SFDXA Picnic.

The picnic will be free, since the club is in good financial shape and we are encouraging everyone, members, prospective members, members of other clubs and curious non-members to attend.

The food will be provided.  Currently we are talking about hot dogs, sausages, and burgers with baked beans, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese.

We will set up a portable HF station for those prospective members interested in HF.  We will be set up to demonstrate  phone, digital and CW contacts.  Unfortunately, we cannot post this as a "Parks on the Air" event, since it is a county park and not a federal park.  It will still be fun.

Please RSVP to me so that we have enough food for everyone!

I look forward to seeing everyone there!

Very 73,
Randy N4QV
