Meet Fred, QRZ Founder in Huntsville, Shelby

See you at Huntsville.. Giga is one of my dealers, and they are great people. George and Daniel have been good guys to work with.

 

Will also look you up in Huntsville, Fred. Better be a good talk!!

 

From the Audience

OK, Fred. I'll check out the schedule. I'll be easy to pick out of the crowd..... 63 year old fat guy with a few gray hairs left on top, wearing shorts, and call badge on the polo shirt, carrying an MFJ bag.

 

They all look alike!

Lee,

That should narrow it down to about 500 hams....

Took the words right out of my mouth.
Uh, is the Shelby date correct? Saturday is actually the 4th. I'm looking at my calendar.

 

Saturday IS the 4th

So- since Saturday is the 4th, are you going to be at Shelby on Sunday the 5th? (It's pretty much a week-long affair- with campers showing up 5 or 6 days before the 'fest begins, and it lasts through Sunday, though it may not be advertised as such. Old friends and dealers tend to hang out with one another in the parking lot. Or at least it used to be that way before they moved to the Cabarrus County complex.)

I think you are thinking about the Charlotte hamfest held in March. It is a two day hamfest held in Cabarrus County.

 

Out West

Too bad your not comming out West. Not only would the lecture be good, but you would get to see our beautiful mountains. Rod K9ROD

 

Right you are, absolutely my mistake!

The Shelby Hamfest used to have everyone show up in campers a week before the actual hamfest really started, and all the "steal-of-a-deals" are done in the parking lot between dealers and themselves or early-birds who arrive days before "real customers". So right hamfest, wrong location. I assume this is still done. Even though the published dates are two days, the hamfest goes on for a week. -WY3X

 

I just got back from the Kentucky Hamfest. The presentation was great. When I saw the title, I thought I was going to have to sit through a boring presentation. Well I was impressed and suprised. He gave lots of interesting information and didn't put anyone to sleep.

 

Saturday is August 21, yes? Were you looking at a 2011 calendar?

 

Hi Fred! We are looking forward to your visit with us at the Shelby Hamfest in Dallas, NC. We hope that you enjoy it! Our club members will be mighty busy over the month getting things ready for the Hamfest! The vendors that have been confirmed are now listed on the website. We hope everyone will join us on Saturday September 4th and Sunday September 5th for our event. The forum Schedule has also been posted and I will be sending you a letter with information this week!

73 and God Bless!
