Santa Barbara Amateur Radio Club Hamfest -- Starts August 10, 2008
We want to invite you to come to the Great SBARC Hamfest and Family
Reunion at the Elks Lodge in Goleta on Sunday, August 10, 2008.
See the attached
flier and the Hamfest 2008 link at
www.sbarc.org
for full details. A few things to highlight:
Take advantage of the swap area, which opens at 8:30. Come early to
set up, and bring those items you or your club want to sell. Call me
at 805-967-9313 to reserve a spot so you can be assured of
having a space set aside for you in the swap area. Parking spaces
are all 9' x 18'. The first space is free, and additional spaces are
only $10 each. If you didn't reserve a spot, you can still sell from
your parking space in the parking lot, just maybe not adjacent to
the swap area as cars fill up the rest of the lot.
See the back side of the flier for details on the VE Session. Call
Darryl Widman KF6DI at 805-969-2326 to preregister.
Bring the whole family! The local astronomy club, the Astronomical
Unit, will again have solar telescopes available for viewing ol'
Sol. Kids and adults can also enjoy games including the Transformer
Toss and QLF contest, plus we'll have the QSL card competition, and
the winner of each gets a prize! Our alternative craft exhibit,
located in the Grove, will be a demonstration of one-stroke
painting.
Why not make a mini-vacation out of it! See the attached file for
information on places to stay. You might find some are
booked up by now, but give them a try.
See you August 10!

Arizona.
Due to the HIGH cost of fuel, I have suggested the possibility of arranging for a 55 passenger bus that will pick up at a pre-designated area and transport those who would like to be there all day Saturday, the 13th and leave either Saturday night or early Sunday morning. Times of departure, arrival, and costs will be determined by demand for this service. The option is also to start out early Friday morning and leave Saturday evening/Sunday morning.
I am researching the likelihood of this taking place. Please email me at: wu6d@arrl.org Tell your friends that don't receive ARRL emails. It will end up costing less, than the fuel you will have to put in your vehicle and you will be able to rest, talk to friends and have some refreshments. The sooner I know the quicker we can arrange it and know the exact costs. Then we can start taking reservations. It will be a European style bus.
