Random snapshots from my day at this year’s Hamvention in Dayton OH.

With all of the pictures I was taking that day, I never really paid attention to if anyone was *noticing* me taking pictures. *laff* Apparently these two knew. 🙂 I didn’t even know that they knew until I got home and dumped the camera… I was too concerned with just taking enough shots so that I know I’d end up with some good pictures – and I didn’t even notice the two perfect smiling poses that I was capturing. 😎

Using Microcontrollers in Ham Radio Projects – a presentation by George Zafiropoulos, KJ6VU at Dayton 2012. Introduction to microcontroller hardware, software development tools and featuring several ham radio project examples.

http://www.kcomm.biz Here are some pictures on an Icom IC-7000 that was recently installed in a Toyota Avalon..

The head was remoted on the dash using a Yaesu MMB-62 mobile mounting bracket..The radio was set under the front passenger seat..We used a Jetstream JPST10 for an external speaker..The speaker was mounted in front of the passenger front seat..

The antennas were Workman mono band sticks..The support for the antennas is a Tram NMO trunk lid mount, which used a NMO to 3/8″ adapter..

The system was checked out & everything worked fine..The customer was happy..

Thanks for viewing..73, Mel

Fremont, Calif. (PRWEB) April 11, 2007

SchmartBoard, the developer of a new technology that has significantly simplified the creation of electronic circuits for hobbyists, education and industry, has signed up to exhibit at the May 2007 Hamvention in Dayton, Ohio.

SchmartBoard|ez prototyping boards allow virtually anyone to hand solder surface mount components easily, quickly and flawlessly. Prior to the development of this technology in late 2005, few people had the dexterity to hand solder surface mount components with pitches as tiny as 0.4mm.

“People can not believe how easy it is to hand solder surface mount components with our product unless they try it for themselves,” said Neal Greenberg, SchmartBoard’s vice president of sales & marketing. “After receiving many e-mails and having conversations with radio enthusiasts who have used, and been very happy with, SchmartBoard, we decided to invest more time and resources to make sure this important niche is aware of the benefits SchmartBoard can offer.”

SchmartBoard will be at booth 218 at the show, which takes place at the Hara Area in Trotwood, Ohio. Visitors to the SchmartBoard booth will be able to try their hand at soldering a surface mount component using SchmartBoards “ez” technology. They will also receive the souvenir board that is also a key ring. SchmartBoard will also have a contest for attendees to win SchmartBoards.

About SchmartBoard (http://www.schmartboard.com)

SchmartBoardTM is committed to helping engineers, students and hobbyists develop electronic circuits faster, easier, and less expensively than previously possible. SchmartBoard’s patent pending Electronic Circuit Building Blocks makes this possible. SchmartBoard’s “EZ” Technology makes the soldering of surface mount components accessible to virtually anyone.

Hamvention Sunday saw the beginning of the exodus from Hara Arena, but for those who remained, there was still a lot to see.

Of course, one of the major attractions was the traditional “last minute bargain.” There were quite a few of these to be had in the fleamarket, but Sunday sales were prominent indoors as well. Early feedback from several vendors indicated that Hamvention 2013 was a success…
