Just got back from the Hamilton Hamfest for 2011. I was looking for a CB radio, not that I do CB, but it is one more thing to listen in on and fill the shack with.

The Ham Fest was a real success for the Club. It’s a lot of work to run a Ham Fest, but Karen KI4GOT, John K4JKA, and Ron AB4A and a lot of other fine people had a hand and did a good job. We had more outside tailgaters/venders then last year and I think that we had more people to attend. We had inside venders that were regulars and also some new ones, I would like to thank them for coming. There was everything from tube boat anchors to modern surface mount radios, and also from antennas to zener diodes. People were having fun buying what they needed and what they didn’t need. I bought a new sound card interface from Tigertronics for my exploration into the digital modes on HF, and some PL-259’s, a couple of M connectors and I guess some other small stuff. Hope to see everybody there next year.
