First of all, many apologies to Michael N9OGC<\/b>. He submitted these photos to us in mid-January, but amidst the hassle of my move to Taiwan his e-mail got lost in the shuffle. I found it today, though – so better late than never, here are N9OGC<\/b>‘s photos. Sorry, Michael – and thanks for the submission!!<\/p>\n

\nDear friends – Here are some pictures from the Wheaton Community Radio Amateurs Mid-Winter Hamfest in St. Charles, Illinois. Hope you like them!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What a cold, chilly day….<\/p>\n

<\/a>
What the hell is that wooden thing? Any ideas?<\/p>\n

How to look like both a whacker and a suburban soccer dad at exactly the same time<\/p>\n
