I'm planning on going all three days this year. There will be pork products at the food vendors.

Speaking of which, I just picked up a Yaesu FT-450B and an End fed 1/2 wave antenna I'm still stringing up. That sucker is long! I managed to get that, plus a 30 amp switching power supply for under $750!

I went into a shop and saw the new Yaesu models... holly shit. Makes my 450B look like a crystal radio by comparison.

I know, the new stuff is just incredible.

Even the cheap chinese stuff is amazing with onboard spectrum and waterfall displays for a few hundred.

Please be aware that you may have received an email pretending to be from Hamvention and providing attendee lists. This email is NOT from Hamvention and if you look closely at the content it says “Hamletian.” They try this scam each year.

I don't get the scam.

I can't figure out what they would get out of it, unless they're just using it as a convenient phishing vector because there are some stupid people out there.

For example, there are organizations that will send you scary threatening letters when your license is ready to expire, seemingly indicating that you MUST renew through an agent and it will cost you to do so. Renewing your license just involves going online and completing the "Yes I Want To Renew" form.
