Hamcation 2020

This was my 3rd Hamcation and the most crowded one. Took almost 30 minutes just to get into the parking lot.

I went to the contest forum first. There were 4 presentations, first about DXpedition for the CQ WW CW contest from 3B8M, then one about doing QSO parties mobile, one about emcom in the Virgin Islands after the hurricanes and then Claudio I4VEQ gave presentation on WRTC 2022. I’m looking to go over to Italy for that and volunteer for their antenna teams.

Big telescope for sale
Swaps hall, more crowded than usual but with the same selection as last year
ARRL had setup soldering projects for the kids to build their own radios
Good turnout for the SPARC Club photo

I picked up another Spiderbeam 12m mast to use to setup multiple antennas for my Parks on the Air work, also got a WRTC 2022 shirt. I didn’t find much else I need this year but I did see way more people I knew which was nice.
