I'd like to go too.

I was there last year and the guy running the spark-gap put on a good show. I also Picked up some Midland UHF gain antennas for $2 a pop new-in-bag.

Anyone taking bets on whether VDC will be there or not? :tsgay:

As long as I can switch my work shift that day, I'm there.

If I can't... oh man there's going to be trouble.

Wife and I are leaving town at 06:00 Friday morning, so be in town hopefully soon after noon.
I will be programming the Saber and
my Truck radio with NPARC Stuff tomorrow. I only have UHF in the
truck, I am strictly VHF on the HT side until I get paid next month.

I was there to witness VE3SXZ upgrade his license to Advanced.

You've maxed out your qualifications in Canada now Bob, congrats.

I had to bow out.

Sounds like it was a drag anyway.
