Every where you turn you hear plenty of sales pitches for the latest and greatest. Hams spend money at Dayton despite the dollars weak standing against the yen. I think all the Japanese manufacturers are making a lot less right now, but the bottom line is they want to sell the product, so I think the manufacturers are going to make a little less profit in the short term. At several forums it's standing room only. And a special announcement at the Youth Forum.
Young hams are about to get a special treat.
The chance to make a extremely rare DX contact. Los Angeles resident Jim Neiger, N6TJ travels to Ascension Island May 20th. Jim has been an avid DXer since he was 15 years old. He plans to be on the air in the Novice bands to give young hams the chance to score both voice and cw contacts. I will be arriving there, I said on the 20th.
