Mark your calendars...SATURDAY, JULY 28 is the one date we've found that will work for an exceedingly informal gathering of DXers in the northeast, inspired by the wildly successful Madison-Milwaukee GTG.
In lieu of any organized eastern convention this year, Jim Renfrew has kindly offered up his new spread in Clarendon, New York, about 20 miles west of Rochester and 15 minutes north of NY Thruway (I-90) exit 47, for DXers to get together for a day of conversation, recreation and maybe even some DX. There's absolutely no agenda - just show up, bring a radio or a TV if you'd like (Jim will have his receivers and antennas fired up, and I'll bring out mine as well), pack a bathing suit if you fancy a dip in the creek or the hot tub, and at the end of the day maybe we'll all go out for some dinner somewhere. There are several inexpensive hotels in Brockport, about 5 minutes away from Jim's place, as well as in Batavia, about 20 minutes to the south. No organized discount rates or anything like that; if you need a hotel room, contact one of us and we'll point you in the right direction. No organized station tours, though if enough people were interested in seeing WXXI, I'm sure something could be arranged. No scheduled presentations, but if Rich Wertman wants to bring some stuff to sell, I'm sure there will be ready buyers. There's nothing organized for Friday or Sunday, either, for those arriving early or leaving late. The Rochester Red Wings (AAA affiliate of the Twins) and the Batavia Muckdogs (single-A affiliate of the Cards) are both at home Friday night, and the Muckdogs are home Sunday afternoon as well, for any who are interested. RSVPs would be nice, and I'm sure Jim would appreciate a few bucks toward the cost of refreshments, or bring along some refreshments to share, if you'd like. Spouses and families are welcome. Check with Jim about dogs and horses and such. Please feel free to share this notice among other DXers...the more, the merrier! 73 and Good DX from your Northeast Unconvention Disorganizing Non-Committee, Scott Fybush Jim Renfrew Jerry Bond Greg Coniglio Rick Lucas George Greene (honorary) _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
