Just as soon as the pollen clears, it is time for another swat at Dayton Hamvention.\u00c2\u00a0 Spending time at the house with the pressure washer is a lot less fun than going to Hamvention, but that’s the way it is again in 2011.\u00c2\u00a0 [Those silly kids of mine BOTH want to go to college – cha-ching!]<\/p>\n

No contest University – again.\u00c2\u00a0 No FDIM visit.\u00c2\u00a0 No chit-chat with the vendors.\u00c2\u00a0 But it is possible to tour the 2011 Hamvention after the fact. On a vicarious 2011 Hamvention tour…………….<\/p>\n

…and thanks to the astute reporting over at The Fi-Ni Report<\/a>, we were certain Hamvention was still going to be taking place despite the onset of Zombie Armageddon<\/a>. So if there HAD been any travel plans, there would have been no need to cancel them to instead hoard the shotgun shells needed for those hard to eradicate zombies that always pop up when the world ends.<\/p>\n

New Stuff and various video:<\/h5>\n

NEW STUFF IS ALWAYS FUN- The Elecraft KX3 video tease!<\/a> by the QRPARCI group.
