I hope Friday as that's what I was planning for. Someone give an answer for sure by 7am so I know what to do for work.

I will be there on Friday. As per SOP, swing by Jonathan's table and let him know you're going so I can get a head count to call in.

The Quantar on 441.1625 is going to happen. What remains to be seen is whether or not I'll be hauling it up in my Tahoe or a rental. :ve4uo:

Craig and Pamela will not make it this year so there is more ribald debauchery for the rest of us. :baby:

Just Mr. W5TUX this time. Wife is not feeling especially radioactive...

Count me in, but I'm not attending the hamfest.

I can't speak for any of the dinner guests (including my wife who hates my jokes), but I had a good time at dinner.


The look on the waitresses face when she learned of the photo op was priceless :baby:

Mong taught us all about the wonderful world of foam products. I didn't know skunks were involved! :baby:

Reports are coming in of a power outage at the Plano Convention Center and surrounding locations.

With an air temperature of 90 degrees, that ought to make tear-down load of fun especially considering the average level of hammy hygiene. :baby:

Pull out the solar, batteries, and gensets. Time for EMCOMM!!! :vestman:

Keerchunck! Keerchunck! Keerchunck! Yes, the repeater is still up.

Plano's finest were johnny-on-the-spot to prevent any looting.

The greatest joke of all is that both on-site repeaters were off-grid to begin with and never missed a beat.

Did anyone else know that there was a P25 on ham panel today? I wonder if they even knew there was a Quantar being used on-site?

I would love to see a pursuit led by a *fully loaded* ham-a-bout. :wacker:
