A little warmer this morning with bright sunshine, but clouds moving in this afternoon and was very clouds by sunset. The first clouds we have seen since we arrived in the desert. They talk about rain about the middle of the week.
This is the first day of Quartzfest 2009. Cliff set up his pa system out by the fire site and we all gathered for happy hour at 4 pm. There were probably 50 to 75 people in attendance. We were greeted by the Vice Mayor of Quartzsite, also a ham, and active in the ham community as well as local government. Cliff outlined the happenings of the week with VE testing, and some seminars. Sounds like a good week of ham radio activities and information.
The photos are from the Fiddlers Jam and Car show. They had a nice showing of classic and custom cars. There are car shows every week end some where in this area. I think some cars go to every show as the owners seem to know one another and enjoy the camaraderie and fun.

In checking the schedule for Monday there will be a seminar on Direction Finding, Winlink Systems, RV Electrical Systems and Amateur TV (Ham TV). Hopefully I can attend one or two of them, if I am not too busy making nametags.
