I tried to register and I got this "Sorry, registration is currently disabled." Must be a reason?

Register for a hamfest? Why not just show up on Friday and buy a ticket. People register for wedding and baby presents.

NearFest is awesome. C'mon down!!! There's always a good turn out. If you are there Friday night, the AM group generally goes for dinner at Johnson's restaurant up the road a piece. |

Yes. The nicest people in the world attend Nearfest. Mr. Mike gives everyone a lollipop and they have unicorns you can ride. The unicorns poop rainbow-colored Skittles and chocolate rivers run through the fair grounds. The trees grow fruit flavored Lifesavers and cotton candy floats around like tumbleweeds. I have never been to a Nearfest! Are people nice there?

'Tis true. Nearfest is a magical place where even the SSB'ers are nice. They typically toss rose petals at the feet of AM'ers as they browse thru the fairgrounds.........also the wx is always sunshine and 60 degrees, with rainbows of course. |

The sausage is low fat, the beer has no calories, all the used equipment is in FB shape and purposely priced well below Ebay prices.
Everyone leaves with a smile having sold all their old stuff and bought many new goodies the XYL will admire and love.
It is a special, special, place

They are all over the place and like mosquitoes. I must admit the one downside is I often go home feeling cheap used by some of them. They seem particularly drawn to us full figure types |

there's nothing like being cold, damp but curiously aroused by the discovery of a 50C5

Dale, KW1I usually has something in the 100W range like an ART-13 or a T195 into a high diplole from the mil rad gang's area - we all check in to the Saturday AM milrad net with it and keep an ear on 3885 and later in the day on 40M.
I am going to arrive on site about 2100 tonight, taking orders for dry socks from anyone already up there. We really got dumped on in the last two hours here in Groton, CT. Forecast for tomorrow seems OK, going to be windy.

The sky is just starting to clear up here at work near BDL in CT. We do have more rain coming though.
I'll take a ride up in the morning.
