Some Hams will take a day off for a Hamfest that is on Friday and
Saturday.
That takes one day away that could be used for a real vacation day. Just
go
Saturday - you won't miss anything. Also, lets not schedule Hamfests and
other
Ham Radio events during people's free social time, as Hams often do.

That's the only time available to schedule. You can't schedule during work
time or not enough people will be able to come.

Dee, you must of not read what I wrote. The Hamfest was on Friday and Saturday.
Friday is a work day. Several Hams took a day off to attend on Friday and
Saturday. Therefore, it was partly scheduled during work. Yet, people were able
to come.

I didn't want to be direct and was still hoping people would understand. Thats
not what I meant by free social time. I meant that hams should not be at their
radios on Saturday night. Yet, at hamfests and ham gathering events (such as
DXpeditions), hams are at their radios the whole night.
