We should all do some sort of rendesvous (sp?) or get together while we're all in the same place.

Mo, I love the idea. We should all meet up or something.

I just checked my schedule and im free on the 2nd so it looks like I’ll be going on Saturday.


[Edited] Mo, that's not a problem i'll change it to sunday.

 

[mlevin]

Check your PMs. I can't do Saturday, I'll be going on Sunday.

Hmm, thanks for the reminder. Maybe I'll go and see if I can't pick up a cheap used 2-meter HT.

Hello,

I may be there. I have repair issues with another vehicle and it looks like I need to bring it in to the shop that saturday.

I may go to the Trenton Computer Show instead (the next weekend) and dx the Passport LTR system in Central NJ. I am gearing up for Dayton attendance this year. I can only go to a few of these shows outside of the area.

The New England big fleamarket is Hosstraders up in NH. I have seen Quebec and NY plates on vehicles. That is coming up in May as well.

Is it possible to take the transit up to the Hamfest? I recall there is a station right there but do not know if the train runs on weekends. One idea would be to take AMTRAK down to Baltimore and eliminate my vehicle. Reduces the bootanchors I can carry as well.

Eric, the light rail system is not running to the fairgrounds but there is shuttle bus service. See that link I posted in an above message, click on Hamfest once there and they have the alternate methods of getting to the fairgrounds via shuttle.
