Huntsville Hamfest 2019

<< < (2/4) > >>

Pigmeat:
If you look to your left as you enter Alabama southbound from Tennessee on I-65 you'll see the famous "Booby Hatch" bar and dancing parlor where YL's do the ol' bump and grind. On the other side of I-65 is a cafe and truckstop. If you go to the latter tell 'em Pigmeat say's "Hey!". It's been a long time.

Al, aren't you afraid Col. Sartorius Snopes will cross into Alabama to seek revenge over that mass outbreak of food poisoning your "Catfish On A Stick" stand caused at the last World Iron Shooting Championships held at his place in Mississippi? It's not far from his place to Huntsville.

WA4FHY:
Any interest in an impromptu HFU gathering during the hamfest? I see several HFU members
who seem to live in the Huntsville / North AL area and the hamfest draws people from
all around. I haven't lived in "Huntspatch" since '83 but did maintain my HARC membership
for several years after.

Perhaps we could try to commandeer one of the tables in the main hall outside the hamfest entrance?

Any interest? Preferred time? Location? Suggestions? Whatever?

redhat:
The town has a fair number of microbrew pub/restaurant things reasonably close to the convention center.  There is also a killer BBQ place off Memorial called Gibsons.

I'm game...

WA4FHY:
RH,
I've never been to Gibson's on south Parkway but back in the day, we would sometimes
go to a BBQ place, I *think* it was a Gibson's, on either Athens Highway or maybe Wall-Triana;
I was working in Research Park at the time and the area was NOTHING like it is now so that
was reasonably cquick. Of course, I also used to go for Saturday morning bicycle rides "out in the country"
which is now the burbs.

Not much response to this as yet but we are still a month out from the hamfest.

redhat:
I did run into a 'closeted' HFU user at the fest a few years back (He was a lurker and couldn't remember his handle).  The fest is a good one.  There are a lot of people selling stuff related to aerospace and microwave.  Prof saw a guy some years back selling tiles off the spaceshuttle.

Should be fun.
