KnightLites Storming Big Daddy Charlotte NC Hamfest
Hi Gang,
The KnightLites invite you to join us at the Charlotte, NC Hamfest
Saturday, March 8th. The Mecklenburg Amateur Radio Society is
advertised as being the largest indoor hamfest in the Southeast. Doors
open at 9 AM for general admission. You'll find directions at the end
of this posting.
Please bring your for sale and/or show-and-tell goodies
to our QRP table, which is Table # J7. There will be someone manning
this table throughout the morning, and we will consider it our gathering
place. We would like to fill this table with a variety of rigs,
accessories, and QRP literature. This would be a great time for us to
share some of our past issues if QQ, QRPp, 72, Sprat, etc.
The KnightLites will be meeting for lunch at a nearby Shoney's
at 1PM. Since the fest doesn't open until 9AM, this will give us four
hours of browsing and visiting time before lunch. Typically we meet a
number of new friends through hamfests, and we hope you will consider
joining us for the luncheon. The format is unstructured and the group
is laid (way) back.
So far, several folks are planning on carpooling; There is still
plenty of room left, so let us know if you would like a ride from the
Research Triangle Park area. Here are some of the Knights that plan to
go:

If you are traveling I-85, get off at EXIT 38, and head south on I-77.
If you are traveling in on I-77, get off at EXIT 11, Brookshire
Freeway East.
Once on the Brookshire Freeway, you should see the downtown Charlotte
skyline on your right side. Move into the far left lane.
This will lead you to Independence Boulevard (US 74) at EXIT 2B.
There will be some construction area as you get onto
Independence Blvd. You are now approximately 2 miles from the
Merchandise Mart.
Move into the right lane, and look for the overpass, as it crosses
over the Merchandise Mart. You can access the parking areas from
Briar Creek Road which is just before the Mart, or from TV Lane
which is just after the Mart. Use TV Lane to get to the loading
dock area if you will be unloading.
-------------------------
If you are coming in on US74, look for the first overpass you see,
which is Eastway Drive. Move into the right lane. The next overpass
is Briar Creek, and you will want to turn right onto the access ramp
to the overpass, which will take you over Independence Blvd and place
you at the parking area.
We hope to see you in Charlotte!
