[WISPA] Dayton Hamvention- any other WISPs going?

2013-05-15 Thread ralph
Well it is that time again...

Dayton Hamvention 2013.
Since many fellow WISPS are also Hams, or they like to go to our events, I
thought I would make my yearly posting.

This year, about 30,000 Ham Radio operators from around the World will
converge on the Hara Arena in Dayton Ohio.  Among all the regular things you
might expect is the famous Fleamarket/Boneyard.   There will be thousands of
outside exhibitors there with all sorts of things related to radio and
wireless.

My Ham groups (Big Shanty Repeater Group and Atlanta Amateur Television)
will again be in spaces 3829,3830,3831,3832.  We also take all the surplus
gear from our WISP and make it available as well.
This year we will have lots of Ubiquiti (pre-M series), some Canopy, some
Ligowave/Deliberant and of course the Pepwave Surf 200s, which are very
popular.  

If you are planning to attend, please stop by and meet us/talk shop.   I
will be there Thursday afternoon (not open to public) as well as Friday and
Saturday all day. If you are going, please drop me an Email.

I went once and that was enough for me.  I'm about 10 minutes away from it.
 If there's a group interested in getting together I'll find some places to
go.

Wow, cubical quad antennas!  You don't see too many of them any more. 
Way back in my youth, when I was first getting onto the HF bands (mid to 
late 1960s), quads were very popular.  They worked pretty well.  But 
within a decade or so, they were a rarity.  The problem was wind and 
weather; they didn't last long.  Yagis were more rugged.  Steve's 
spider-hub quad design might be more rugged than the box-kite style of 
the past, though, which could make it practical.

The same wind load and weather problems apply to WISP antennas, of 
course, but on a much smaller (physical) scale.

The only time I went to Dayton was in 1976, when I worked the 73 
Magazine booth and drove Wayne's new little overloaded half-ton Mazda 
pickup truck from Peterborough to Dayton.  That was a trip.
