Title: What are they thinking Post by: WA1GFZ on September 15, 2005, 12:09:19 PM The big flea in So. Ct. is Oct 9. so if Hostraders isn't enough jump in your car and head South the next day. I bet Bob and Blaine get all the deals

Talked to one of the promoters and they have received lots of requests for vendor tickets. It's indoor/outdoor fest. Holiday for some on Monday, 10/10.
We also have a big hamfest on Saturday in NJ, 10/8. October 9th: Nutmeg Hamfest (http://www.nutmeghamfest.com/index.htm) October 8th: BARA Hamfest (http://www.bara.org/) Title: Re: What are they thinking Post by: W1RKW on September 15, 2005, 03:25:08 PM I made a very big mistake 4 years ago. When my wife and I were planning our wedding it never occurred to me to think about the date of the wedding day. Our wedding anniversary is 10/6. I've missed a few Hosstraders over the last few falls to anniversary plans. My wife always plans something months in advance and beats me out on my fall Hosstraders events. So again, I won't be going :-(. Though I will be going to the Nut'fester.

The first several years I went to Dayton Hamvention, my wife's birthday always fell the day before, during the convention, or the day after. Always got a lot flack about going off to the convention during this time. When the convention changed to May, it was a burden lifted from my shoulders. I told her I had them change the date just for her. She ran to put her boots on.

Our anniversary allways falls on or near FD, and FD weekend is always anniversary weekend.
At least the New England Wireless and Steam Musuem has moved thier Yankee Steam Up to October 1st this year. Last few years it has conflicted with Fall Hosstraders. Its mostly steam stuff, but the radio side of the musuem also has a lot of activity going too at Steam Up.

The New England Wireless and Steam Musuem looks like a must see for me, thanks for the tip. Steam engines and radios...two biggie interests since I was old enought to know what the were. BTW, that wood-fired boiler looks like it's gotta be the prototype for A.C. Gilbert's Erector Set Boiler. I've attached a jpg but haven't a clue where or how it's going to wind up. |
