Hi, Rick-- I am not sure at this point whether I will be able to make your GTG. Nina's family lives in Springfield, so if I go I will stay there and slip over to Urbana for the day. However, if she has no business there for that day, and especially if she has to be there a week or two before or after 9/14, we will not be making a second trip. I'll let you know. 73 Bill

The gathering will take place at the Ramada Inn located at 902 West Killarney Street, just off North Lincoln Avenue, one-half block south of I-74 exit #183 in Urbana, IL. Snacks and beverages (the liquid variety!) will be provided. Even though the GTG officially begins at 1:00 and lasts on into the evening, I will be arriving in Urbana on Friday evening, so any early birds are welcome to drop by and visit. Feel free to bring your radios and/or QSLs. No station tour is planned as of now, but that could always change (when I hosted a GTG in Davenport, Iowa in October 1992, we were treated to a nice -- and impromptu -- tour of WOC-1420). If you choose to stay overnight, reservations can be made with the Ramada at 217-328-4400. Even though the main target demographic of this event is comprised of Midwestern DXers, anyone, anywhere can feel free to attend, and this is an all-band (MW, LW, FM/TV) gathering. If you have any further questions about the get-together itself, feel free to e-mail me at drummer1965...@yahoo.com.
