This is usually a decent hamfest. I'm planning on attending again this year, probably won't be buying much, more to see some friends. In the last few years I have seen an increasing ammount of Motorola gear including a XTS5000 III which I believe was a 900 Mhz radio. Had it been a VHF I would have picked it up myself.

This will be my 4th time at Ft. Wayne. R&L, MFJ, sometimes Yaesu and a bunch of ARRL big shots come. It is the best one around here.It is also the Indiana ARRL convention. Hope to see you there even tho I have no idea what you look like.

One of the blind people there was Bob WD8PIC, a hell of a nice guy and a lot of fun to talk to on the radio. I actually got to meet him face to face (so to speak since I could see him, but he couldn't see me) on Saturday.

Was he the guy with the dog? I saw a blind woman going around the tables by herself. It's tough enough getting around there when you can see.

No, he had a human guide, a fellow ham. He would walk behind his guide with his hand on his guides shoulder.
