Paul Gayet, AA1SU, writes on the Vermont ARRL Members Only list:
I would like to invite you to the St Albans Amateur Radio Club (STARC) Hamfest on Saturday, August 7 from 8 AM to Noon. It will be held at the VFW on 335 Lake Street in St Albans. Admission is $5. This includes buyers, tailgaters, or inside sellers. Under 18 years old is free admission.
There will also be Ham Radio License testing at 9 AM. Bring $15 cash, FRN from the FCC, and email your address.
The talk-in repeater will be 145.230 -100 Hz.
Here is a link to the official flyer: https://www.starc.org/wp-conte
After the Hamfest, you are invited to the Radio Amateurs of Northern Vermont (RANV) summer picnic. This is just down the road at Kamp Kill Kare State Park in St Albans Bay. RANV pays the admission. Just tell the Ranger you are with the Ham Radio people, and he/she will point the way. The club will supply some drinks and charcoal. You bring your own food and bathing suit (optional). The hours are from 11 AM to 3 PM.
Getting to the park is fairly easy. You just stay on the same road as the VFW, and head towards the lake (2.5 miles?). At the lake, the road turns right. Go north for 0.7 miles. After the small bridge turn left on Hathaway Point Road. Go 3 miles down the curvy road to the park entrance.
I hope to see you there.
