What do you say, Larry. Shall we check out the banquet?

And a butt-load of OAUSA business cards and vehicle stickers, too...DaveK wrote:Now that's a great idea!OLLIE wrote:I think we need to role in there with a bunch of amateur radio equipped 4WD's. What you think?

I think we should definitely put this on the calendar - after all, given our test session results at the M&G, and the likelihood of a repeat performance at Summerfest, we could become quite an attraction at Hamcon...

OK. It's this weekend. Friday and Saturday are looking like the best days. Vendor/Exhibitor hours on Friday are 4:00PM to 7:00PM and Saturday 8:00AM to 5:00PM.
There will be several of what they call "tech talks" on Friday and Saturday, see: http://www.hamconinc.org/tech-talks/_Te ... mation.pdf.
Cost is somewhere around $20.00.
So, who is going?
