All,?
On Aug. 17th and 18th of this year, the Huntsville Hamfest (https://hamfest.org/) will take place in Huntsville, AL.??
Traditionally there has been a VHF/UHF/Microwave forum on Sat. afternoon, but this year will emphasize the microwave bands with two hours devoted to the forum and several other microwave activities before and after the forum.??
There will be a ?Meet & Greet? dinner on Friday evening (order from the menu), the forum itself, a tune-up range for 10 GHz, and operating activities for those wanting to gain contest points since the 10 GHz & Up contest coincides with the hamfest.??
The attached agenda details the schedule of events below, so here is an opportunity to meet and work your fellow microwave operators, some that you don?t normally work or meet.The more folks that attend, the more contacts you can have for the contest, so come and join in the fun while attending a great hamfest with all of the major dealers and equipment manufacturers.??
The antenna tune-up and contest operating location takes place at the parking garage for the hamfest, and the hamfest and flea market are indoors in an air-conditioned environment.??
Now isn?t that cool!?
