Opportunity Missed

A brief glimpse of me (far right) at last year's Hamvention
A brief glimpse of me (far right) at last year's Hamvention
I did not go to Hamvention this year. I apologize to those who expected to see me there, but the decision not to go was last minute and as a result, I did not post the news about my change of plans until Friday.

Good news is that I missed the 2-hour wait in traffic trying to get to the new site in Xenia and I missed the swamp, which is what the flea market became after 3 inches of rain fell Friday and Saturday.

Bad news is that I missed a lot of potential video presence over the weekend. A few booths down the aisle from my group's booth was a camera that streamed live video from the Hamvention throughout the weekend. Quite often, the camera was pointed down the aisle at my group's booth, so if I had been present, you would have been able to clearly see me live and in person just as I was able to see all my ham radio friends who were staffing our booth.

Wait 'til next year!

    Stana, I did miss you at Dayton this year and maybe it was a good thing. The buildings were so hot and humid that any foundation would have dribbled off. It would have been a skirts and low heels for sure and it was paved in the exhibit area. The flea market area was 3 inches of mud so bring rubber boots. 73 es 88s Brenda

      Now I don't feel so bad about missing the Hamvention this year, Brenda!
