*As the HVRA Board Secretary* Last year's auction at the TARS hamfest started at 11 am Registration for the HVRA auction for last year costs $2.00 Any 'TARS Yellow Shirt' gets in for free as I will donate the entry cost. [This is to comply with Texas State law regarding auctions] We got done with our yearly convention now we can plan for the auction at the TARS Hamfest The assumption is that auction participants will pay the Hamfest fee
