Ok, ok, it’s November and the summer-time ice cream eateries are pretty much all closed for the season. Well, so what!! We can still show up en masse at some location with indoor seating. We tried this last winter, and it was a brilliant success. How about we kick off this indoor season at the […]

Well, I for one was convinced that that gathering at Scoups Ice Cream at the end of September was to be our last outdoor event for the season. However, the intrepid Steve, K9SMB, has verified the the Country Drive-In, home to the world’s best onion rings by some accounts, will still be in operation this

You may have noticed that the weather this week as been decidedly less summer-like than many of us would like.

The Country Drive-In is on Vischer Ferry Road

Yep, the next festive gathering of the hams will be at Summer’s Best Ice Cream. And where, I hear you all shouting, is Summer’s Best Ice Cream? Well, let me begin by suggesting it may be just a little further away than some of the other places where we have met, but I am told

We had a bumper crop of amateur radio operators and friends this past weekend at Hayner’s. We even had a few from the RPI club along with some of their friends. We discussed lots of topics ranging from Meshtastic nodes to corn on the cob. (As expected, too, the corn from the produce truck at

Since we didn’t meet up last Sunday, we absolutely must have a social gathering of the hams this coming Sunday. The chosen venue is Hayner’s Ice Cream and Country Store, located in Clifton Park (well, probably Halfmoon). Everything starts at 1:00pm. Two things to know about Hayner’s.
