- HAMFEST INFO, November 1992
-
- Welcome to the twenty-first edition of the Hamfest Info mailing list. This
- list covers 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. If you do not desire to receive this
- information, let me know. If you know someone reachable by e-mail who would
- like to receive this information, let me know and I will add them to the list.
-
- If you need info about a specific hamfest, send e-mail; I can find out
- just about anything you need to know and would be happy to pass it along.

- ---------------------------
- Miscellaneous notes:
-
- I have included some preliminary 1993 hamfest dates at the end of this
- newsletter. If your club has selected a date and it does not appear on
- this list as being confirmed, please let me know. I expect to have
- a more detailed list next issue.
-
- I finally received a reply from the Triangle East ARA regarding their
- hamfest; they obviously won't have one this year but are hoping to
- have one next year around October 17th.
-
- The next issue will of Hamfest Info will be out in mid-December and will
- cover the Greenwood SC, Richmond VA and possibly the Gastonia hamfest.
-
- If you have a university account that will be deleted at the end of the
- Fall semester, please let me know and I will send you what info I have
- on 1993 hamfests before your account is deleted.
