Daton HAMvention
- Thread starter mechanic
- Start date
I do Huntsville and Orlando every year,.... after the river of Pee (and other lumpy objects) at Dayton a few years ago, you won't see me there until Hara arena gets improved (which won't happen)
Went one time. I doubt I'd ever go back. Nothing against the event personally, just to darn crowded for me.

Once was enough for me too. Matter of fact it was the last "hamfest" I ever attended.
The ham wife and I make the yearly 705 mile trip again this year. I just love going through the flea market looking for boat anchors so that I can flip them and sell them hopefully for a profit.
I picked this Drakes up for $400.00 last year and the transmitter was dead. I have since added all of the Sherwood mods to the R4C and added a DDS VFO which gives it full WARC band coverage as well as shortwave (it is not shown here). The transmitter had a dead final, replaced it and it now does about 160 watts. I will be keeping these until a see a worthwhile trade. LOL

Now only 16 days till I leave and two more for when the gate opens.... I will be taking a few pics and post them here.
Maybe I can meet up with BJ!
