Got home at 2:30am after a long trip from Detroit.
Dayton was crowded. It was 80+ 99% humidity on Friday and rain on Saturday.
Both Janet and I are pretty sure we will not go there again. I had
almost no interest in the 140w HF amp and Janet only sold half her books.
Best part was spending two days with her son and wife. Andy is
KB0MLT and they live in eastern Ohio. He picked up a Wouxon HT and I
got a reconditioned Peet Bros. Wx station. Of course this is the
daddy of all flea markets that takes a full day to walk thru... also
all the major mfrs and dealers. I ran into KL7RA there but did not see KL6M.
I will be back to work tomorrow and work nine 8-hour days in a row,
so will not be able to hold the net on Saturday (scheduled to work
10am-7pm). I will be able to run the net on June 1 (144.200-SSB). I
do have saturday off for the VHF Contest (June 8/9). I will quit the
job on 21 June so will be free for FD and thereafter. I'm planning
to run 20m psk-31 with the KX3 on battery during FD with the Moosehorn ARC.
73, Ed - KL7UW
