[Fourlanders] Fwd: + The next few weeks will be filled with Ham Radio Events

[Jim Worsham]

Hello everyone.  See the email below about the upcoming hamfest and other events.  I would be interested in hearing about others plans for the hamfest.  I am thinking about bringing some Rohn 25 tower sections to sell if the weather is good.  I have a 10 foot TVRO dish in quarter sections I could throw on the trailer also if anyone is interested in it.  Let me know.

> The Gwinnett Amateur Radio Society (GARS) will be hosting our annual TechFest January 9th. 
> We have invited regional radio groups to participate by setting up a table with information about their activities and to demonstrate some type of amateur radio mode, method, technology or experience. This will be an opportunity for the community to become aware of the many modes of operation of Radio Amateurs and view some of the preparations taking place by public service volunteers in the Ham radio community. Unlike Field day, or the typical swap meet, this is not a contest or race. It is a chance to experience modes of our hobby that you might have never seen. Or to show your friends and family what Amateur Radio is about.
> 
> Bring a crock pot full of chili to enter the contest. Bring your award-winning chili in the morning and give it to the food staff. A panel of three judges picks the winner at 11:00am. The winning cook's picture will be in the February Garzette and the winner gets bragging rights for a year!
