[450] Newtown Hamfest

[William Knapp / KC1WJ]

I'm usually on in the evenings around 7168 +/-. The band might be way  
too long for us to talk by that time though. I've been talking with  
Dave, G0EVY pretty much every night. He runs a very informal "net"  
that has no official frequency and no official start or end time. :)
I can certainly try and get on at 7am though.
