[SFDXA] Orlando Hamcation 2012

[Sebastian, W4AS]

I went up on Friday and thought I would be wearing my raincoat all day, since for most of the trip it was raining.  But it stopped a few miles before Orlando and it was really hot and muggy.  I'm glad I had a pair of shorts in the car!

It sounds like you were there yesterday (Saturday), when it was quite chilly.

For those who didn't go because of the predicted rain, you lost out on a really nice hamfest; although it did rain most of the evening on Friday.
