OK Southern crew..time to start planning for the Dayton of the Southeast!

I plan to have 2 flea market spaces, and since you can actually move in a week early I will go down the Sunday before and set up a tent to reserve them....anyone else gonna sell want me to grab the adjacent spaces?

Should we have a Hamsexy booth?[/b]

It's going to be a three day hamfest (offically), but there are always lots of folks around for the week prior.

If there is anything I can do, I'm only 22 miles from the site.

If you guys want the banner, let me know.

Too early to know if I will be able to come down, once I know, I will provide info.

Or form our Fast Action Response Team.

Depends on what we get to insert and where, I only saw one screwable woman at Shelby last year...

Better be a mutual aid call, Cleveland County does not have any ARES group as of the last area 13 meeting

Gotta love a hamfest with a Sunday school

We've got to remember to hit the Icom and Yaesu booths early if you want the good freebies.
I'll be looking for books and maybe an antenna tuner. Some decent kits would be great too.
Who knows, something odd might just tickle my fancy!

I might show up if my trip to WV gets rained out.

KD8CPP · Post by **KD8CPP** » Wed Aug 22, 2007 9:08 pm

Damn, too late to plan with my family. I go to Greensboro 2-3 times a month, only a few hours down the road. Maybe next year.

It was posted in May, and it's been the same weekend for over 50 years.

No excuse for missing it

I never pay attention to this thread.

Well I officially declare my WV trip rained out. Probably for the better since I would just end up at the Hooters in Charleston with the sub-par women.

So I will be attending Shelby. I guess all the cheap hotel rooms will have been filled up by this point eh?

KI4PNY · Post by **KI4PNY** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 7:59 pm

What days you guys heading that way? I'm probably going Sunday.

Well what pricepoint are you looking for? Lincolnton is only 20 miles away, but it's an easy drive. The comfort inn is 68.39
for most rooms, and it's nice, clean, and safe right on main street.

I'll probably just drive down early Friday morning and go home friday night. It's not THAT far.

Yeah, what are you, a woman?

I didn't know if you were staying a few days for business or not...

Unfortunately I also won't be Astrosexy either, at least not on the ham bands, since i'm not a ham. Maybe I should focus on obtaining a ham license while i'm there.

Sounds like a winner!

Good news for those who are close and want to test often

I guess I better study the general this weekend at work, might test on Monday. If all goes well, then I can study the extra for a few days and be extra-CSCE sexy by the weekend

Or completely blank out and be tech-sexy until 2017 when I renew again

Mong · Post by **Mong** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 10:36 pm

If I completely feck out next week, the next weekend will have another testing session in Gastonia NC, so I'll try there.

I would have tested in my town last weekend but I got distracted by the G/F friday night and..............well lets just say I forgot all about

radio

Post by **RCSD505** » Sat Aug 25, 2007 8:34 pm

So... any official Shelby non-ham frequencies? I should be programming into my radio? I will have access to VHF and UHF. MDC ID C702 on both.
