The Antenna Forum is on FRIDAY.

The Contest Forum is on SATURDAY.


The first Antenna Forum I attended in Dayton was around 1975 and it was 
early on
Saturday morning. It was given by Rush Drake, W7RM. We were the only thing that
was going on in what is now the main arena area where Icom, Yaesu and 
others are
now located. The Flea Market didn't start until Saturday morning back then....

When I started moderating the Antenna Forum in 1980, ( So I guess this is 21
years now) there had not been an Antenna Forum for a few years. We put it on
Friday and it has been there ever since.

CU on Friday.

73!
