Thanks for showing us Hamcation for those of us that can't be there! 73... W4UWC
Thanks! Yes I can t always go so it’s nice to see what we missed. This year was a great show and weather cooperated. 73 thanks for watching
Cool! Thank you. Best I've seen about hamcation 24. Not new to radio but I am kinda going back to my ham days from 44 years ago. I'm a yaesu man. I don't do expensive rigs.. yet! I just guessed that nice yaesu was a 101. Yep! My ft-dx3000 was researched for months and came from martin lynch in England. Brand new but sold as used. Love it! 73s M7XNR
I was there Saturday. Seems about the same as last year, but a little bit fewer swaps folks. Weather was perfect this year (rained last year).
I heard that the weather was rainy last year. I enjoyed hamcation this year. Glad you could make it also. Thanks for watching and the comment . 73
Thanks for the video. I never miss a Hamcation video. Would love to see Dayton one day.
Thanks for the feedback and yes Dayton is also on my wish list. 73
Great video highlighting Hamcation. I hope to attend one year.
You have to go at least once if you can. This year was a great show. Thanks for the comment. 73
I have an ICOM R-6 wideband receiver, great radio though the modes are a bit dated.
That receiver was tempting but my transceivers double as shortwave receivers. 73
@@hamradioonthego I know what you mean. It's just a wideband receiver, modelled after the ICOM Q7A, a dual band radio with wideband that was produced years ago. Though it is slightly outdated now, it still picks up quite a bit today. My other wideband is a Retekess TR110, a Chinese DSP that covers 153 khz to 520 MHz with all modes. It costs about $100. The Retekess is less sensitive than the ICOM, yet better on MW/AM and FM broadcast band. Wishing you and your family all the best in life in the future. And lots of DX.
Thank you for the great video. Are you going to the Dayton Hamvention? And yes, I listen to WRMI shortwave.
I always wanted to go to Hamvention but the allure of warm weather in February is too much, and the budget is tight to swing both in the same year. One year I will have to make it happen. I really enjoy WRMI thats why I dropped that comment in the video in support of shortwave . Thanks for watching and commenting. 73
I met Jeff White at a shortwave radio meeting in 1978, in Montreal, ANARC 78.
Thanks for the video but try to get some sort of stabilization for next time as it gets to hard to watch after a few minutes with it jumping around so much. Good coverage though and thanks!
I appreciate the feedback and you’re not the first to mention. These types of videos are not my typical so I’m in uncharted territory but I agree, I must invest in some stabilizing . 73 and thanks for watching .
I’ve never seen a vw golf with so many antennas
Ultimate Rover, thanks for watching and 73
Any yaesu 757 GX
I do not recall seeing any at both swap areas. I would recommend checking out other videos on YT for something maybe I didn't see. Hope that helps and 73.
Sorry but that was about the worst Orlando Ham Fest yet.Wont be going any more.They have some nerve charging what they do $$$..People were all packing up Saturday by 2pm.Place was half empty Sunday??
I was also gone by Sunday so I can’t attest to how it was on Sunday. That was my second hamcation. I’m assuming you have gone to more. What has declined in your opinion? Thanks for the comment and 73
