Hi Sean,


BC> An RV/ham radio event is totally foreign to me, so my mind is imagining
BC> a hybrid between camping, a flea market, and "camping".  How would you
BC> summarize the experience?

SD> You're not wrong.  They usually include inside professional vendors,
SD> classes, testing sessions for upgrading licenses, and several other
SD> activities.

SD> That type of an event is usually called a hamfest.

Or on a bigger (huge!) scale as this, hamvention. This town is a county
seat so the county fairgrounds are in it--and well packed with radio
related stuff! Five buildings plus tents, food stands, all kinds of
radio related stuff. I have a few small give away things I'll probably
pass on to other hams; Steve has bought several things but nothing big
and bulky yet.

Our rally group wemt out to supper as a group last night. I think they
made reservations last year as the restaurant was packed! I had a good
chef's salad but nibbled some of Steve's pickled beets & eggs and pork
rinds.
