NOW you're talking! :-) The Socializing thing is what's really taken over at Belton. The facility (Bell County Expo Center) seems to have reserved the entire weekend (starting Friday morning) for the HamFest. People start showing up sometime in the middle of the week in their RV's, with the majority showing up early Friday morning. Always lots of room for everyone. Big gatherings on friday night with musical instruments, lots of food, and comraderie and fellowship for all. The QCWA NOS local chapter (promoting AM, in general) always has a big presence. 73 = Best Regards, -Geoff/W5OMR
