Message-ID: Any personal opinions of the Yaesu FT-857 (not the D model, the plain 857) that any of you would like to share. Owners on eHam.net speak highly of it, most are five star reviews. I like the idea of an HF/VHF/UHF/6M all-mode in a portable package. I know there are always tradeoffs in products like this, but I think it would likely make for a rockin', foot-stompin' A-Go-Go Box. 73, K1CPR Juan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The Fest is shaping up nicely. We have so many Door Prizes that we will have to give out at least two an hour. We've already sold 16 tables. Carl, WA1ZCQ, of the New England QRP Club, said I could quote him, " The CVRC Mini-Hamfest is the Best one in the whole USA!" For those in your Club who might be interested, Dale, AF1T is giving a Talk on " The Matching and Phasing of Antennas" at 11:00 AM. Thank you! We hope to see you on St. Patrick's Day, in Henniker! 73, Mickie, W1MKY CONTOOCOOK VALLEY RADIO CLUB 2024 HAMFEST/FLEA MARKET SUNDAY MARCH 17, 8 AM TO 2 PM, AT THE HENNIKER COMMUNITY SCHOOL CAFETORIUM CVRC Vise-President, Chris Bosse, AC1EO, has done a great job preparing our 2024 CVRC Hamfest/Flea Market Poster. Please, print at least three, -one to hang on your refrigerator, and two to hang up on local Bulletin Boards. Many people say that ours is the best Hamfest, since, we have three Speakers, loads of Door Prizes, inexpensive food (Baked Beans, Hot Dogs, Home Made Pastries), lots of Vendors, VE Session, Mobile Radio Raffle Grand Prize, Great Conversation (I'm remembering listening to many Happy Voices of people who haven't seen each other in a whole year!) -Our Hamfest is a super place to meet new friends, AND see old ones! You are invited to Attend, be a Vendor, Upgrade, Buy Equipment, Eat, Visit, help with set up at 6:30 AM, help with Tear Down after 1:30 PM, Listen to Talks, or All of the Above!
