[TVARC] Orlando Hamcation 2025 and TVARC "swap table"

[Larry Sheridan]

Hi Rusty -

Don WB8GUS from MI & I will be driving down early Saturday morning, leaving
TV about 6 AM, with a few
goodies for the Club swap table.  We will also have with us a large-tire
hand cart for anyone to borrow to get
their goodies to the table from the parking lot, too.

Please add me into the schedule for a 2-hour table slot, wherever time is
needed to be filled.

Thanks,

Larry Sheridan  K8XR
