I will try to post when I can, but my dance card is usually so full during Hamvention that I have very little time to get on the net.
If you are attending Hamvention, I will be staffing TAPR's booths in Building 5 of the Greene County Fairgrounds in Xenia, Ohio. Maybe we can have an eyeball QSO!
Anyways, I am cutting this post short because I have to finish packing.
And so it goes.

I was in Xenia back in the mid-1970 installing emergency two-way radios in the hospital and ambulances are the city got hit with tornado. They were duplex EKG/voice radios on 467/468 MHz. They were the same radios as on the old television show "Emergency" (the show used dummy radios that we made for them). The company used to be located in New Britain CT
ReplyDeleteWow! I loved Emergency! So much that we watched the entire series on Netflix a couple of years ago.
DeleteGreat to know that there was a New England connection and a person in my circle involved. Thank you for sharing your story, Diana.

I was told that the fairgrounds where Hamvention is held was wiped off the face of the Earth by that tornado, so all the buildings had to be replaced.
DeleteXenia is totally redoing (paving and installing new signals) in it's downtown area! Hopefully the work will be about done by the time you get there! :)
ReplyDeleteNever had to go downtown, so it was not a problem, but thank you for the heads-up, Cyrsti!
