I googled the phone number and eventually got a road map and satellite pictures of his QTH.
Hamsexy is like peeing your pants.
Everyone can see it but only you feel its true warmth.
But then you get old and pee in your pants while wizzing around in you hamabout.

OK folks, it's on....As of right now (9:00PM) ALL 86 of my vendor tables are full.

We have a nice gathering already started in the tailgate area.

W3JN and his minions have started to set up the AM station but are missing one minor item...Hey Bacon, where the hell is the transmitter!!!!

Seth's repeater is up and operational....

This will probably be my last post for the weekend, but will see what I can do...

Oh yeah, The rodeo is set up and ready for those of you that want to go... :tsgay: :xls: ... :baby:

See ya all tommorow...

Actually Danny, that's not us.... due to circumstances beyond our control we won't be having the W3F AM station this year.

We'll both be at the fester though, and hope to see you there tomorrow.

The infamous JFW peddling his wares...

What's a hamfest without a jazzy for sale... but wait a tick..

Image
And off-roading Chevy... At least it's an Astro...Van.

Image
The Rodeo next door was flying their flag...

Image
It was my turn to have a birthday.. even though it's in the spring. PJ took the photo.. with my camera. Obviously he doesn't understand that not EVERY camera utilizes autofocus.
