The TCG was well represented, and the hamfest was
pretty successful from most accounts.  TCG showed
videos, displayed awards, and talked up contesting.
The Time Machine was set up running the 2002 ARRL
CW Sweepstakes, and was a definate hit. Several TCG
ops were seen buying and selling various treasures.
The hamfest featured powered outlets at each table,
allowing boat anchors and all types of equipment to
be displayed in full glow.

On a personal note, it was great to see old friends
and meet several new friends as well.  Several of you
I'd never met face to face before despite several
contest QSOs.  I really enjoyed meeting you all.

I never got the call signs of the CW contest winners.
In my jumble to conduct the game, I lost track of who
won!  Did anyone else get the calls?  The two winners
copied the message at 60 WPM and 55 WPM.  Wow!

The next TCG meeting will be held Sunday July 20
at the K4RO QTH at 1:00PM.  This is the first date
which is not on the July 4th weekend or during a
major contest.  (I'm counting the July 19 NAQP RTTY
contest as major. :-)
