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.
- 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. - 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. - Arduino/Raspberry Pi/Beaglebone Black stuff
Because you can’t have too much! - 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.

nice article about the steam mop I never tried to clean the carpet with beer. Sounds fun 🙂

The right beer would leave your carpet smelling a little citrusey. But it would be a waste of good beer! 🙂
