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?

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.

Anyone interested in lunch that day? Couple of good places in St. Catharines depending on what you like...

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.
