Finally after 42 years of hearing about it, I'm making the trip to the
Dayton Hamvention today! It is a bit of a drive, but the weather is looking pretty fair and the journey up will take me through some really beautiful parts of North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia. DMR and 2m FM will accompany me and I hope to connect with others making the trek!
Besides attending a few of the forums, my shopping list includes a few things that are needed around here, such as: 1) new remote antenna switch, 2) Vector Network Analyzer, 3) various 'tweenie' connectors....and we'll see what other things jump into the shopping cart. (Not sure Array Solutions is going to be attending this year -- guess we'll find out soon enough...) A new
main HF transceiver is on the longer term wish list, so spending time in the various manufacturer's booths kicking tires is certainly on the agenda. If things go as planned, I'll also attend the FlexRadio banquet on Friday night to see what's new in the Software Defined Radio world.
Look for a post or two from Ohio over the next several days! (edit: A few pictures added below...)
