Annual San Antonio QRP QRP Breakfast
Monty N5ESE <n5ese@...>
In memory of our dear friend Fred Bonavita, K5QLF (SK),
who so enjoyed this breakfast, we'll again enjoy our annual QRP Breakfast & Show-and-Tell before the San Antonio Swapfest opens. Please join me and bring your homebrew (or other) QRP stuff for "show-and-tell" at 7 AM at: Taqueria Guanajuato in the community of Mingus Corner, near the intersection of FM 2536 and Loop 1604. The place opens at 6 AM, and breakfast will start around 7 (+/-). Mingus Corner is about 1 mile south of the swap site, and the taqueria is on the left (if your southbound). The swap again will be at Little Joe's Country Gold, which is on FM 2536. Set up starts at 7 AM for those who purchased tables, and the doors open at 8 AM. Here's a map for those who get lost every year (like I do): http://www.io.com/~n5fc/swapfest_in_san_antonio.gif Below, is Fred's narrative description of how to get to the taqueria (it's easy to miss in the dark), from last year's invitation message. Please let me have a head count (for the QRP breakfast), if you plan to attend, just mainly so I can post potential participation and stake out a table or two when I get there. For those coming from the north on I-35 or US 281 or from the east on I-10, get on I-35 south toward Laredo. Take Loop 410 west from I-35 South. Take the second exit from I-35 onto FM 2536, go left under the overpass and go 1.6 miles. Little Joe's is on the right, and the taqueria is about 1 mile south, on the left. For those coming from the south on I-37 or I-35, turn west at Loop 1604, follow it to FM 2536, turn right and look for the taqueria on the right. Those coming from the west, take Loop 1604 to the south, turn left at FM 2536 and watch for the taqueria. 73, monty N5ESE Good advice from Mom: "Play Nice!" ;-) Monty Northrup, N5ESE (ex-N5FC) Austin, Texas e-mail: n5ese@io.com web page (ham): http://www.dit-dididit-dit.com web page (home): http://www.io.com/~maddog ______ _ _/ \_/ \ /\/ _ \_ \ |/ /_) \/ ZZZz || _ | / |\ /_) / | / \ \_ |_ | / \ \_ __ \ \_/ \_ (__) | / \ \_______/

I know that speak for many South Texas hams that Fred's passion and enthusiasm for Amateur Radio and QRP will be missed on Saturday. I will try to stop by for a quick taco before going to work at the Swapfest door. Here is a link to the Swapfest 2007 information http://w5sc.org/swapfest.htm Here is a google map of the Swapfest location http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=7511+Old+Pearsall+Road,+San+Antonio,+TX&ie=UTF8&z=14&ll=29.323822,-98.644781&spn=0.043328,0.097504&t=h&om=1&iwloc=A Look forward to seeing you there. 73 Paul Guido, N5IUT Elecraft K2 #1308
