[TVARC] HamCation site map with comments

[k2dm at comcast.net]

Fellow TVARC members,

Many of us are very excited that the annual gathering of Hams in Orlando has
arrived.  Some TVARCers are veterans of HamCation while some others are
first-timers.

Whichever category you fit into, there is a lot to see and do.  You can shop
for used stuff at a huge outdoor tailgating area, shop for used stuff in an
indoor SWAPS building,

check out all sorts of new stuff from dozens of ham-radio-related equipment
vendors in another building, visit various ham radio organizations indoors,
like the ARRL,

SKCC (Straight Key Century Club), LICW Club (Long Island CW) Club and maybe
even Parks On The Air (POTA).  Need some coax, want a cap with your callsign
on it,

been jonesing for a new HT or mobile rig, or antenna?  You can find it here.

Want to learn more about various ham radio topics?  There are lots of forums
from which to choose.

There is a very helpful map of the HamCation site on the HamCation website.
I am attaching it to this email.  Those of us driving to HamCation from The
Villages will turn

left from West Colonial BLVD onto Pete Parish BLVD.  Find a parking spot in
the huge grassy area to the right of Pete Parish BLVD.  If you have a
HamCation ticket in hand,

or you need to buy one, you should proceed to the South Gate Ticket Booth
WHICH IS ERRONEOUSLY LABELED "5" on the map.  This booth is located at the
upper left corner

of the huge grassy parking area.  If you need to pick up a ticket at WILL
CALL, go to the WILL CALL ticket booth correctly labeled "6" on the map.

Go in, and have fun.

If you want to stop by and say hello to W3US, N0SMX and K2DM in the main
Tailgate Area, head on back to area "18" in the upper left area of the map.
See the Restroom?  Our

tables are located just south of the Restroom (below the Restroom on the
map).

Looking forward to seeing you there.

73,

George K2DM
