Always the first Sunday in August!

Which is the 5th this year, not the 7th.

See you there on Sunday the 5th!

Why the heck are you posting an obsolete link to last years hamfest?

Heres the right link. http://www.shenvalarc.org/hamfest

[KK4AMP]

Thanks for the correct link. Any word on vendors showing up?

Thanks!

[KJ4VTH]

Yes, vendors will be showing up.

I will be showing up to see exactly who, though I suspect it will be pretty much the same as last year, not that there's anything wrong with that.

I think it's been a couple years since I have gotten to Berryville. The last time, the XYL came along. I remember it rained like heck the whole time and almost all the tailgaters and many of the outdoor vendors packed up and left after awhile . My wife and I got pretty wet and muddy. But I did find a call book from the 70s that had me listed in it, and we got some of those nasty hamfest cheeseburgers, so it was not a complete waste of time.

[KK4AMP]

Yes, vendors will be showing up.

Gee, thanks! LOL

I'm guessing that since the OP is in some way connected with Tower Electronics that they may be present. Now that we have established that it is likely that vendors will be present, does any one have info on which ones?

Mmmm.. bbq...

Thanks!

Quicksilver Radio will be there, in the air-conditioned building.

Cool! Bringing any of those 40 watt temp controlled soldering stations by chance?

. . . Now that we have established that it is likely that vendors will be present, does any one have info on which ones?

I'm about to find out . . . Leaving for Berryville in about half an hour.
