Hamcation 2019

I went to Hamcation in Orlando on Saturday. Went with Norm KA1IJA from the SPARC club. We met up with some other guys from the club as well. The setup at the convention was pretty much identical to last year, right down to the booth location. I picked up a LiFePO4 15Ah battery for my portable work and some connectors. We went to the POTA forum, which was at capacity and I got to meet some of the people I’ve talked to over the air. It was a fun trip.

I think he was there last year. I don’t know how he drives around like that
This one folds down
Here’s the inside. The dial selects the transverter to convert the higher frequencies down to 10m and then he can use the 7300 to communicate. He was getting a 10GHz beacon that was bouncing off a metal tower nearby
