    Well, not planning to go to Hamvention - but wondering if
    others here are?

    I go to Hamvention with the the Whisky Lovers Amateur Radio Club (WD1CKS) every year. --

    Hope everybody had a good time. Did you have opportunity to take any
    photos or videos of the WD1CKS gang ?

    Come home with a new radio or gadget?

    I did. Hopefully get some time to edit and publish on YouTube here soon.

    I didn't, no. My alergies were pretty out of control the entire weekend, so I didn't do as much "shopping" as I normally do while there. But on the bright side, I attended some good indoor forums/talks (to escape the wind/pollens), which I was inspired by.

    Sorry to hear your allergies kicked in and messed up some of the activities. Glad there were indoor activites to avoid the pollen.

    Thanks. I enjoyed watching it. I think I even saw a fellow ham I know that
    was in the crowd :-)

    Great putting some faces with names.

    Wind did look pretty rough! Look forward to the groups next adventure.

    Wind wasn't too bad, but like I said, something in the air was triggering my allergies something terrible. I failed to mention the Tornado warning (watch?) we "survived" and some other notable events (like W1MDJ's car breaking down).

    I also learned some lessons with the camera (DJI Pocket 3): Not to ND filter indoors and probably not even needed outdoors and the wireless mic caused more issues than it was worth (don't bother brining/using next time).
