Hamvention is at a busy time for me, and I didn’t know if I was going to attempt to go or not.  I think I’m going to go, though, because I need stuff.

  1. New NMO mobile antenna setup
    My current mobile antenna is a few years old and not only is it showing it’s age – the coax is pulling out from the magnet and I can see braid – it probably took damage when I wrecked my truck last October.  The truck is repaired, but the antenna currently has a VSWR of 3:1.  Not good.  I’m going to completely replace the antenna setup with a better one.
  2. Parts
    I’m not looking for any real radio equipment other than parts.  I have some specific needs (linear-taper variable resistors, etc), but nothing out of the ordinary.
  3. Arduino/Raspberry Pi/Beaglebone Black stuff
    Because you can’t have too much!
  4. Test Equipment
    Generally, another scope or a spectrum analyzer is out of my price range, but if I happen to find one…

So I’ll probably be at any Reddit or WATwitter meetups, and I’d assume the same location as last year.
