[CQ-Contest] Heads Up for Visalia

[Rex Lint]

Eric,

Visailia is considered "greater Fresno," so FAT is the place to fly in to.
Otherwise it's 3 Hrs from LAX and 3.5 from SFO, but San Jose or Oakland are
sometimes cheaper - more discount airlines.  Another option is Sacramento -
Southwest flies in there, but that's as long a drive as SFO. United is main
carrier at FAT.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Heads Up for Visalia

Better early than late, I'm planning on attending the Visalia gathering 
for the first time.   I have a hotel room, but am having trouble getting 
there in an affordable way (i.e., using my frequent flier miles). 

United no longer flies to Visalia, and the closest I *may*be able to get 
is Fresno, although that doesn't look too good.

It's been suggested I fly to LAX or SFO and hitch a ride.  Looks like 
it's a 4 hour trip from LA, half that from the bay area. Is anyone out 
there planning on driving and interested in taking a rider?

I realize that we're talking about late April, but I figure I should 
take care of this as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance,

Eric W3DQ
Washington, DC
