• HAM ventioons

    Anyone on here going to any HAM ventions in the coming months?
    I'd love to shake hands (and then sanitize, of course - LOL) if
    you are!

    Last one I attended was in Memphis last year I think it was...
    Only BIG one was at Huntsville. Wife and I both went and stayed
    the night as well. It was fun! Bought our mobile rigs and
    antennas there...

    The only one I normally do is Hamvention (the one and only) in Dayton. That would've been a few weeks ago now, but sadly it was cancelled for the first time ever.

    It's a huge event and worth attending if you ever get the chance - assuming it bounces back from all this. I think you'd be impressed (judging from the photos from the Huntsville Hamfest site).

    I haven't been to a hamfest since I left my old home in New York. I know they HAVE them out here - somewhere. Hell, they'd HAVE to have one down in Denver for crying out loud. Thing is, they just don't seem to be as prevalent here as they did back east. Anyway, I'm at the point that if I HEAR of one within 200 miles, I'd be willing to drive that far just to attend.

    Yeah I've heardd it's the granddaddy of them. :-) Maybe I'll get there
    one day. :-)




    ... What if there were no hypothetical questions?

    Understood. What's gotten me thinking more about it, I guess, is getting
    that antenna at home prepared for outside on a tower, plus here in Indy
    when we visit there's a TON more traffic! So it's more on my mind. :-)

    And then there's the fact that my wife and I have been off work with
    COVID, so even though we haven't been IN anywhere, we've been driving
    TO places, and enjoying the time together.

    And Superman Days is cancelled this year. :-(
