That is the person that runs the pit in Belton!

 

October QST says Belton Hamfest is October 10.

Might want to confirm what date is correct.

 

TARC shows it to be the 2nd and 3rd on their own website.

 

Rain again this year.

 

What year is your QST ?

QST is wrong for this year.

 

This was in October 2026 QST. Their info is wrong. October 3 is the correct dste.

 

Don't miss this tonight at Belton!

 

Any reviews on the band last night?
