Thank you Ted, but I have to give great thanks to Bill, Willy, Tom, and
Rob for organizing the booth at Frostfest. I just "came along for the
ride". Those folks are 'locals' in the Richmond, VA area while I had a
2 1/2 hour drive to get there. I arrived shortly after the gates
opened. But I do thank those loyal locals who man the volunteer
Elecraft booth at Frostfest year after year.
For me, it was a great event - my first time at Frostfest, and I was
delighted to meet many new faces as well as seeing many familiar ones.
My next "big" hamfest will be RARSfest (April 4, 2015) which is local
for me, followed by my annual trip to Dayton for FDIM and that 'small
hamfest down the road:-) ' from the FDIM location.
BTW, for those who are local to the Raleigh, NC area, Elecraft will be
officially at RARS this year with a full-time Elecraft employee, which
means we will be offering show specials and the capability to take
product orders. See you at the RARS hamfest.
73,
Don W3FPR

This past weekend I was in 4-land visiting my son and his family. Sonny
surprised me by taking his Old Man to the Richmond (VA) Hamfest, a
selfless filial act if there ever was one. But there was the Elecraft
booth; and manning it was Don, W3FPR. When I saw his name/call tag I had
to introduce myself. What followed was a memorable, helpful, and
altogether delightful "eyeball QSO" with a truly First Class ham.
Thanks, Don; here¹s to you.
Ted, KN1CBR
