[vcf-midatlantic] DVRA Swapmeet

[Sentrytv]

Their club is  small and their hamfest (swapmeet) is usually very small when they have one.
I wouldn’t say to worry at all but I just wanted to make you aware.
I was just saying it wasn’t fair because they should not have gone and made it on the same day!

The only thing that I had heard about Amateur Radio Hamfest in Fair Lawn which was on arrl.org and it was scheduled for the same day, but they have rescheduled to June 5. When the Steering Committee found out, they decided that we wouldn't move the date of our show and that people would choose for themselves if they wanted to do either or both. In any case, it is too late to change our dates, we have already advertised it everyone and have people lined up to come to it.
