- NC/SC HAMFEST INFO MAILING LIST ANNOUNCEMENT
-
- I have been maintaining an electronic mailing list for the last year and
- a half, and thought that there might be a few people on the net that
- would like to know about it. I posted an announcement a year ago but
- a lot of new people are on the net so I thought I would post another
- announcement.
-
- This list describes hamfests in North and South Carolina, and is updated
- as needed, usually about once a month. I have included a few hamfests
- outside of the Carolinas that may be of interest.
-
- The list has a calendar of hamfest dates and locations for the
- rest of the year; and a few paragraphs about each hamfest that
- will take place during the next month. I try to include
- info about the hamfest location, whether exams are offerred,
- ticket pricing, "more info" addresses, and sometimes brief remarks
- about the hamfest based on my personal experience.
-
- I developed this list to answer e-mail questions I received from
- people ("Are there any hamfests in this area in the near future?"),
- especially non-hams who often don't hear about the hamfests otherwise.
- However, there are hams who read it as well, since I try to combine
- information from multiple sources into a simple, quickly read message.
-
- I have been posting this information to the triangle.radio newsgroup
- for the last 2 months, but I can't guarantee that I will be able to
- do that after the end of the year. I don't post it to rec.radio.amateur.misc
- or other national/international groups on a regular basis
- since the information is only useful to a small part of the country,
- and due to the flamage that might result.
-
- So if you need hamfest information for North and South Carolina
- and would like to be put on the e-mail list, contact me at
- cs00jmc@unccvax.uncc.edu or 3426957@mcimail.com
- and I will add you to the list!
