1993
CHARLOTTE
HAMFEST
WEEKEND
THE YEAR WAS 1993..THE MONTH WAS MARCH..JUST 15 YEARS AGO THIS
WEEKEND .. THE "22 CREWMOBILE" WITH A FULL LOAD OF "22 CREW" STUFF HEADED
FOR CHARLOTTE NC, THE HAMFEST AND A BREAK FROM THE BITTER COLD NY
WINTER..LITTLE DID WE KNOW THAT BY SATURDAY THE ENTIRE "TEAM 22 CREW" WOULD BE
REFUGEES FROM THE
STORM OF THE CENTURY, ALSO KNOWN AS THE ’93 SUPERSTORM, NO-NAME HURRICANE, THE
WHITE HURRICANE, OR THE (GREAT) BLIZZARD OF 1993. THAT EVENT WAS
A LARGE CYCLONIC STORM THAT OCCURRED ON MARCH 12-15 1993, ON THE EAST COAST
OF NORTH AMERICA. CHARLOTTE HAMFEST WEEKEND.
"TEAM
22 CREW" WAS STUCK IN CHARLOTTE FOR DAYS AS TRAVEL WAS TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE...WE
WILL NEVER FORGET THE NC STATE POLICE ARRIVING IN FORCE TO CLOSE DOWN THE
HAMFEST AROUND SATURDAY AT 1PM...ON ORDERS FROM THE GOVERNMENT. NEVER HAS WE
BEEN AT A HAMFEST THAT WAS CLOSED BY THE GOVERNMENT...
AND...IN
CASE YOU HAVE NOT LOOKED OUT YOUR WINDOW....HERE WE ARE 15 YEARS LATER...SAME
WEEKEND JUST ABOUT AND YES WE GOT ANOTHER EAST COAST STORM...IF WE HAD GONE THIS
YEAR BY PLANE...JET BLUE IS SO FAR DELAYED NOW (SATURDAY NIGHT THE 8th) THAT WE
WOULD NEVER HAVE GOTTEN BACK TOMORROW...DRIVING..WELL TO QUOTE TONY
SOPRANO..FUGEDDABOUDIT!
SO
AS WE COMPOSE APPLE SLICES WEEK 10 THE RAIN COMES DOWN SIDEWAYS AND THE WINDS
ARE APPROACHING 50 MPH AND WE ARE SORRY TO MISS CHARLOTTE THIS YEAR BUT I AM
GLAD TO NOT BE STUCK IN AN AIRPORT OR ON ROUTE 95 AND THEN AGAIN THERE IS ALWAYS
NEXT YEAR!
let's play...FIND
THE ANTENNA
SO YOU THINK
UR LOOKING AT MAINE OR MAYBE MICHIGAN OR HOW ABOUT CANADA...ALL WRONG..THATS
DIRECT FROM THE FAIRWAYS OF FAIRVIEW TEXAS AND THE HOME QTH OF W2HLD-MIKE...YES
PARDNER IT DO SNOW IN THE LONE STAR STATE...NOW LOOK CAREFULLY AT THE
ABOVE...CAN YOU SEE MIKE'S STEALTH HF ANTENNA....IF YOU CAN U MAY WANT TO DROP A
LINE TO THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION! BUT BEFORE THEY COME AND DISMANTLE
IT...WORK HLD ON THE CLASSROOM NET EACH MORNING...YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE HOW
STRONG HE WILL BE WITH THAT SNOW COVERED INVISIBLE SKY HOOK."sky commando"
n8dsg
m o v e
s
FOR YEARS N8DSG HAS
BEEN A CLASSROOM NET REGULAR..MANY TIMES HE USES HIS KENWOOD HT AND TS-2000 WITH
THE SKY COMMAND SYSTEM TO CHECK IN ON THE NET, HENCE THE NICKNAME SEEMS
PERFECT...BUT HE DOES ALL THAT SKY STUFF FROM HOME IN REDMOND MI...HE AINT HOME
NO MORE:
BILL'S JOB HAS SENT HIM
TO WEST VIRGINIA FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD AND ALL THIS TIME HE HAS BEEN IN A
COMPANY APARTMENT...WELL NOTHING LIKE A HOUSE WITH LOTS OF ANTENNA ROOM FOR A
HAMMY SO YESTERDAY THE 8TH BILL MOVED TO 402 Butcher Bend Road, Mineral Wells,
WV THE QTH YOU SEE PICTURED ABOVE..BILL WILL BE AT THAT HOUSE FOR THE
REST OF HIS STAY IN WV AND THEN RETURNING TO MICHIGONIA:
AND HIS REAL JOB OF
BEING "SKY COMMANDO" ON THE CLASSROOM NET!
INDIANA EDUCOM CREW GOES POLAR
ANYTHING FOR A GOOD
CAUSE, RIGHT? THATS WHAT FACULTY ADVISOR BRYAN-WN9Y THINKS...SO LAST
SATURDAY THE EDUCOM-EDUCATION THRU COMMUNICATION-HAM RADIO CREW AT SILVER CREEK
HIGH SCHOOL IN SELLERSBURG INDIANA TOOK OFF THE HEAVY COATS, SWEATERS AND BOOTS
AND PUT ON BATHING SUITS TO TAKE PART IN:
THE POLAR
PLUNGE

Water temp: There was ice around the edges.
Event: Polar Plunge to benefit the Special Olympics
And members of the Silver Creek Radio Club were there.

LAKE WHEN IT IS 38 DEGREES...NO MATTER HOW GOOD THE CAUSE...TAKES A SPECIAL
BREED OF HAMMY....FIRST THEY HAD TO GET READY:

ANOTHER PICTURE:
THATS HIM STANDING TO
THE RIGHT OF SANTA (Dustin Kuhn is Santa, Dustin got his Eagle rank
in Scouting last week and will be leaving for the Marine Corps
this Summer after graduation)...AND WE DO HAVE TO GIVE 9Y
CREDIT...EVERYBODY ELSE IN A COAT...HE GOT DOWN TO A TEE SHIRT...WAY TO GO
