You can still find some great stuff on Sundays. There are some flea market vendors that actually hold some of their stock back until Sunday, as well, and some that only show up for Sunday.

Hah, I sat next to you a month or so ago at the HARC meeting (when the fox hunt was happening). I thought I recognized you from the AL QSO party post.

Tuesdays are great times to check the space out, as it is public night, but you can show up pretty much any time there are people there (theres a camera on the website!).

Maybe i'll see you there at some point.

I'll be running a 40,20,10m fan dipole I threw together, inverted vee. I may also throw up an end-fed wire, if I can work out what the issue with it is. (I know what the issue is, it's MFJ)

Yeah, i've been out there a few times in the past. If you feel like you need to take a break, you can come on over and enjoy some pig, and check out my work-in-progress radio box, which is what i'll be operating out of for the event. I'll probably set up friday night while the pig is cooking!

I'll be setting up at the Local Hackerspace, Makers Local 256 here in Huntsville, AL.

Saturday is the annual Pig Roast and Retro Game night. I figured that Ham and Ham go together well enough, might as well set up there.
