Summermeeting 2009
Borderhunter SUMMERMEETING - 4th and 5th JULY 2009!Greetings all my dear friends in Free Radio Short Wave land. Time has come to announce briefly about the upcoming meeting here in the Dutch/Belgian border area. Station operators and listeners are welcome. As the meeting of last year was a huge success, so is the reason to organise another one. We will have, just as last year's, a Barbeque, Drinks, Fun and laughter and we hope you will come as well.
The meeting will be taking place on the first weekend of July. Friday 3rd - the first visitors arrive, Saturday - the most and it goes on non-stop until Sunday afternoon. You can stay the night(s) over in a huge tent with bed (take only a sleeping bag with you), your own tent, car, camper or at a local hotel. The exact place where it all will be happening will be announce 1 month before the meeting to those that want to come. People who visit us earlier know that we use a real nice place.
If you have interest to visit this meeting please let us know by e-mail or letter! You can get more info on summermeeting@ rock.com Please forward this to your well-known hobby friends.
Can say that we hope lots of Shortwave listeners and pirate station operators will come. Can say that last year's was big fun. Can say that that we hope lots of you will come. It'sthe place to be!
Greetings from the Borderhunter Summermeeting organisation.

Pirates of the Irish Sea exhibition
PIRATES OF THE IRISH SEA EXHIBITION EXTENDED
Andy Wint reports that The Pirates Of The Irish Sea exhibition at The House of Manannan in Peel, [Isle of Man] mentioned in recent editions of Contact [World DX Club bulletin], has now been extended from the end of March to the end of this Summer. The exact date has not been announced yet.
He comments; "I know many people from off-Island wanted to see it again and this should provide ample opportunity whilst the Steam Packet boats are running a summer timetable to UK, Eire and Ulster.
It will also mean that the many thousands of TT 2009 visitors will get the opportunity to absorb the 'Caroline North' experience and spread the word across the globe.
Matthew Richardson at Manx National Heritage continues to keep the Caroline North flame alight and is delighted that MNH is the only heritage organisation in the world to have an museum-standard archive on offshore radio. He and I are very happy to receive information enquiries and memories to add to the record."
