Speaker 2: looked at the weather and it looks like we're warming
Speaker 2: up and coming into ham Cashon. We're looking at hopefully
Speaker 2: seventies and eighties.
Speaker 1: Good, that's normal. There's been a few mornings at Hamcshions
Speaker 1: in years past where I arrived in the morning and
Speaker 1: it was pretty chilly outside, but once the sun came
Speaker 1: up and everything it was I always ride. I used
Speaker 1: to ride with a couple of guys that had swapfest tables,
Speaker 1: so they always wanted to get there literally at the
Speaker 1: crack of dawn, and it was it was chilly sometimes there,
Speaker 1: but you know what's the sun came up, it was
Speaker 1: nice and warm outside. Took your jacket off and hopefully
Speaker 1: had shorts on underneath, but it was good.
Speaker 3: So a lot of making a floridage joke there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, yeah, large pendulum swing in the temperature up
Speaker 1: and down for that weekend. But hopefully seventies and azy
Speaker 1: sounds beautiful right now. We've been in the thirties for
Speaker 1: the last week or so. But all right, Michael, Well,
Speaker 1: tell us about Frank's gonna be watching the chat for
Speaker 1: questions like normal, okay, and tell them. Tell us what
Speaker 1: we've got in store for twenty twenty five. What's new,

Speaker 2: we should have good numbers again this year like we
Speaker 2: did last year.
Speaker 1: Excellent, excellent, that's great, great to hear. So okay, good,
Speaker 1: I'm just looking. I'm just kind of poking around on
Speaker 1: the website here while you're talking, so.
Speaker 2: Right right here. And if you want forums, we have
Speaker 2: lots of forms. Over Friday and Saturday, we have thirty
Speaker 2: seven different forms.

Speaker 2: SKY one class actually Sunday, and yes, so if you
Speaker 2: want to sign up for that, there's info on the
Speaker 2: forums page for that also for Sunday or actually, yeah,
Speaker 2: I think it's on Actually it might be under affiliated events.
Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, it doesn't look like it's on the forums
Speaker 1: pay or at least not down below the Yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Think we put it on affiliated events, so you can
Speaker 2: sign up for that, and I do know they will
Speaker 2: have a booth at Hamdcation and you can actually sign
Speaker 2: up there if you decide to take it. Also, but
Speaker 2: also on Sunday we'll have free emission, So Sunday is free.
Speaker 2: You don't need a ticket. If you've never been to
Speaker 2: Hamdcasion you want to come check it out, Sunday's the
Speaker 2: day to do it. You won't have to pay to
Speaker 2: get in, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's great for local people who live close enough
Speaker 1: to make that worthwhile. That's a really cool thing I'll do. Yeah, excellent, Okay,
Speaker 1: sweet do you say fifteen or thirty new vendors fifteen
Speaker 1: fifteen fifteen fifteen new vendors. That is outstanding. That is
Speaker 1: great to hear that the that the vendor is the
Speaker 1: vendor numbers are growing like that. I really think that's
Speaker 1: a great thing.
Speaker 2: So it is, and it actually shows that it pays
Speaker 2: off going to other hamfests. We go to a lot
Speaker 2: of them advertised Cation. We talk to all of these
Speaker 2: vendors constantly at these other shows, and I think the
Speaker 2: more they see us out there advertising hand case, they're
Speaker 2: starting to see, hey, we want to go to the show.
Speaker 2: They're trying to grow with stuff like that.
Speaker 1: So totally yeah, that makes sense, makes sense. Okay, okay, Frank,
Speaker 1: did you have you come up with anything?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got a couple of questions here.
Speaker 1: I ahead.
Speaker 3: Lately a couple of guys are talking about skywarn and
Speaker 3: the the the usefulness of that program, and that's pretty cool.
Speaker 3: There was a question about camping spots from Expert Hand Radio.
Speaker 3: Can we get an RV camp spot spot on the
Speaker 3: spot without an advanced registration?
Speaker 2: Yes, you can if you come to the show. RV
Speaker 2: camp or RV spots open on Wednesday, officially at twelve
Speaker 2: or two o'clock su as we're able to open the
Speaker 2: gates on Wednesday, we start letting into RV's so it
Speaker 2: is first come, first serve, So we can't guarantee depending
Speaker 2: on what day you come in. We can't guarantee how
Speaker 2: close you'll be to the actual buildings. But we can
Speaker 2: host almost two hundred and fifty RVs on site, and
Speaker 2: I know right now we're pre registered with just over
Speaker 2: two hundred, So yes, there's still available sites for people
Speaker 2: that come in if you want to pre register forum. Actually,
Speaker 2: our registration goes down on February first at twelve oh
Speaker 2: one am. After that, everything will be at the gates
Speaker 2: for everything. Rdtailgate swaps everything like.
Speaker 3: That good okay, and that ticket page I had to link?
Speaker 3: Where did I stash it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I saw you. You linked at a minute ago.
Speaker 1: I highlighted it for you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh well it's I have it somewhere. Justin's asking
Speaker 3: is there lightsing testing at Hamdcson this year?
Speaker 2: There is. We have testing on Friday and Saturday. It
Speaker 2: is free to take. We have partnered with Hamstudy dot
Speaker 2: org and to do that. Everything is electronic, so you
Speaker 2: will go in. If you pre register, you will have
Speaker 2: a code it gives you. You go in, they check
Speaker 2: your driver's license, hand you a tablet. You punch in
Speaker 2: that code. It will pull up the test you pre
Speaker 2: register for. You take the test. As soon as you
Speaker 2: hit submit. You will find out right then if you
Speaker 2: passed or failed. Uh So there's no waiting for a
Speaker 2: VE to actually grade it. Uh so, yes, Friday and Saturday,
Speaker 2: you can pre register. We would like it if people
Speaker 2: pre register, so if you do want to do it,
Speaker 2: please pre register it. This makes it easier daring. When
Speaker 2: you go over there, you don't have to if you
Speaker 2: don't want to, but we just recommend you do do it.
Speaker 2: This makes it makes it quicker when you go there.
Speaker 3: So that's all online kind of testing.
Speaker 2: It's all done through the system online, correct.
Speaker 1: So yeah, the program they use that him said he
Speaker 1: came up with was called exam Tools. Yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's a locally installed program on a computer. Now you
Speaker 1: can do this is what they use to do online.
Speaker 1: But a lot of clubs use it. They just you
Speaker 1: come in and instead of taking a paper, paper and
Speaker 1: pencil test, you'll sit down in computer and do ham Tools.
Speaker 1: So it's both. It's it's a digital test, whether it's
Speaker 1: online or locally installed, so you.
Speaker 3: Don't have to have of all the computer, of the camera,
Speaker 3: the computers, the cameras because they're not during it locally.
Speaker 3: They just provorting the form of the test.
Speaker 1: It's just it's just an electronic test rather than a
Speaker 1: paper pencil test. That's all it is. That's cool, which
Speaker 1: makes it much faster, like Michael said, it does.
Speaker 2: And it makes it actually faster taking the test too,
Speaker 2: because once you get done, it will actually tell you
Speaker 2: also if you did not answer a question, so it
Speaker 2: will actually warn you before you hit submit also, which
Speaker 2: makes it nice.
Speaker 1: That's good. Okay. Yeah, if you skip one by mistake
Speaker 1: or think I'll come back to that and then forget
Speaker 1: about it, which which is my thing all the time.
Speaker 1: So yeah, okay, sweet, that's great, great to hear.
Speaker 3: Okay, is there any overnight parking allowed or if you
Speaker 3: want to overnight you're recommended to go into the RB spots.
Speaker 2: Correct, I would recommend staying outside of the fenced area,
Speaker 2: So yes, if you're going to actually stay on property
Speaker 2: want a camp overnight, we do recommend coming in aside
Speaker 2: and doing the RV nights.
Speaker 1: Okay. And they have I mean they allow tent camping too,
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken. No, no, you don't. You don't
Speaker 1: allow tint camping.
Speaker 2: No, it's actually a city ordinance. Uh, there's no camping allowed.
Speaker 2: Now here's the caveat of that. If you put a
Speaker 2: tit in a tailgate of a vehicle, it's perfectly fine.
Speaker 2: The tit cannot touch the ground.
Speaker 1: So a rooftop ten on a jeep or a truck
Speaker 1: or something would be okay.
Speaker 2: Correct, And we have actually several people coming this year with.
Speaker 1: Those nice Okay, Okay, I was thinking I had seen
Speaker 1: that before, but yeah, maybe I hadn't seen that a motorcycle.
Speaker 2: There's a guy with a motorcycle really like a little
Speaker 2: tit that comes off the side of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, okay, oh that's great.
Speaker 3: I love it. I love it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we may have to find that guy and
Speaker 1: do an interview with him. That sounds like a fun,
Speaker 1: fun interview right there.
Speaker 3: So you got a couple of checks there, Jason.
Speaker 1: I did see that. Yeah, so earlier I got ten
Speaker 1: dollars super chat from Jason, Thank you very much for that.
Speaker 1: And then Jack gave another ten dollars super chat. Thank
Speaker 1: you very much for that, Jack, I appreciate you being
Speaker 1: here tonight. And then uh oh yeah, Jody's saying, good
Speaker 1: to see Rob Sherwood still giving talks.
Speaker 2: Yes, he's doing one.
Speaker 1: Also, Yes, that's good. I haven't I've never seen him live,
Speaker 1: I don't think, so maybe I'll try to. There's always
Speaker 1: so much going on with these hamfest it's rare that
Speaker 1: I get a chance to attend a forum. But we'll see,
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens with that. So, okay, I saw
Speaker 1: something a minute ago I was going to ask about,
Speaker 1: but I lost it. Frank so what is it? Go ahead?
Speaker 3: Gray Man's asking, is the barbecue joint across the street
Speaker 3: still open? The barbecue the barbecue joint still across the
Speaker 3: street in the parking lot?
Speaker 2: I G yeah, I don't know. So State Road fifty
Speaker 2: there is under construction, so I do know. That's one
Speaker 2: thing we'll have to watch out for for people coming
Speaker 2: in this year, is all the construction around there. But
Speaker 2: we do have last year we did it. Also, we
Speaker 2: have Handcasion Information Radio on AM six ' ten uh,
Speaker 2: so we will be broadcasting across that for anybody coming in.
Speaker 2: It is good for about five to seven miles from
Speaker 2: the fairgrounds, so but we can lie broadcast across that
Speaker 2: if we need to. But it will be recordings on
Speaker 2: there of pretty much almost everything I went over here,
Speaker 2: where stuff is, stuff like that, it'll be broadcast across
Speaker 2: there also. Plus we also have amateur radio talk in
Speaker 2: so if you do have questions, you can actually also
Speaker 2: go to.
Speaker 1: That and ask local repeater.
Speaker 2: Local repeater. Yes, it's actually on the website. It's one four.
Speaker 2: It is a mixed mode of fusion repeater. Okay. We
Speaker 2: also be on d Star as a secondary talking for
Speaker 2: thirty seven. Charlie so people can actually ask questions on
Speaker 2: there too. We'll have a radio in talking also for.
Speaker 1: That thirty seven Charlie.
Speaker 3: Okay, good to know we kind of hitting on it.
Speaker 3: But we're talking about food and I'm getting hungry. Now,
Speaker 3: what are the food vendors are you going to have?
Speaker 3: Are they going to be returning or you got something?
Speaker 2: I do know every year they try some new stuff
Speaker 2: every year, so some stuff I don't even know about yet,
Speaker 2: but I do know some new food vendors will be there. Also.
Speaker 2: I do know the pizza guy usually comes every year.
Speaker 2: That's a hit, the fire brick fired pizza. So I
Speaker 2: do know they have a little bit for everybody. You vegetarium, vegan,
Speaker 2: a little bit for everybody, so anybody can find stuff
Speaker 2: there to eat.
Speaker 1: I've always been pretty pretty impressed with the food selection
Speaker 1: at this one. At ham Kashan and him vention, I
Speaker 1: think have the most best food selection choices in my opinion.
Speaker 3: So I like this question. Was there any youth activities?
Speaker 2: Yeah, youth activities. I do know Neil Rapp will be there.
Speaker 2: He will be doing some youth stuff. Ken Lyons with
Speaker 2: the Boy Scouts will be there also. I do know
Speaker 2: they are doing a Boy Scout Communication merit badge during
Speaker 2: ham Cashion, So they usually take about twenty kids around.
Speaker 2: They go to certain vendors that actually teach them about
Speaker 2: stuff that they need to learn for the the merit badge.
Speaker 2: So I do know that's going on also. And then
Speaker 2: Carol Perry's Youth forum is there, and I do know
Speaker 2: aar L is doing a collegiate forum also for college kids,
Speaker 2: so that is going on also.
Speaker 3: So where was that the first one you said, the
Speaker 3: kind of the youth project, the.
Speaker 2: One would Neil rap? Yes, yes, I believe he will
Speaker 2: have a booth there. John can actually post it probably
Speaker 2: in the chat. He's actually watching the chat. Okay, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: he's been posting in there.
Speaker 3: John says, pick up your lanyard in the North Hall
Speaker 3: from the boy Scouts for five a five dollars donation.
Speaker 3: Excuse me, and yeah, let me know where that that
Speaker 3: youth project is. And I will definitely be there with
Speaker 3: a camera and highlighting. I love getting involved with the
Speaker 3: youth projects and highlighting them on my videos.
Speaker 2: And then another thing that we'll be doing also this
Speaker 2: year is W one a w Strip four will be
Speaker 2: our special events station. Our special event station was actually
Speaker 2: sponsored by Icon again this year, so we will have
Speaker 2: a seventy six to ten there, ninety seven hundred and
Speaker 2: actually a nine oh five full working station with all
Speaker 2: the bands that it does all the way to ten gig,
Speaker 2: So if you want to play with that, that will
Speaker 2: be there. So and Icon is actually one of our
Speaker 2: platinum sponsors, and our Sunday Grand Prize is actually a
Speaker 2: nine oh five with everything to go with it, all
Speaker 2: the intimate wow gig everything. It's a seven thousand dollars
Speaker 2: grand price package.
Speaker 1: Can call that's quite the package. You're gonna have to
Speaker 1: win that one, Frank John says.
Speaker 3: The youth boots are one twenty nine and one thirty.
Speaker 3: Scouting booths are one twenty six and one twenty eight, so.
Speaker 1: They're right next to each other.
Speaker 2: In other words, Yeah, they has one youth area there
Speaker 2: in the gain Hall. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Good, good to know, awesome, cool, okay, good, all right?
Speaker 1: Anything else, Frank, it's pretty slick. That's pretty slick that
Speaker 1: you'll have a working nine oh five there with all
Speaker 1: the bands. That's cool.
Speaker 3: That spurret a question for me. Last year. You had
Speaker 3: to sign up for that, and if you do want
Speaker 3: to work that is there the sign up sheets still
Speaker 3: there or is it walk on up.
Speaker 2: For the special events station. Yes, I don't quote me
Speaker 2: on this, I know they are doing a sign up
Speaker 2: also that you can sign up for a certain time
Speaker 2: if you won't. I believe also this year, since we're
Speaker 2: gonna have multiple radios, you might be able to walk
Speaker 2: up and work some of them at any time if
Speaker 2: they're not being used. I do know this year we
Speaker 2: are actually the ninety seven hundred is actually going to
Speaker 2: be more D Star related this year, and they're actually
Speaker 2: going to have a screen setup to watch the dashboard
Speaker 2: and stuff like that also with it.
Speaker 1: Oh nice, that's cool, Okay, good.
Speaker 3: Talking about prizes, do you will you have the screens
Speaker 3: up everywhere announcing the prize numbers or we have to
Speaker 3: go to the prize booth multiple ways.
Speaker 2: This year we'll have the screens up. There'll be one
Speaker 2: in the Swaps building, there'll be two in the Northeast hall,
Speaker 2: and then there will actually be one at the prize
Speaker 2: in the info booth. If you can't make it there,
Speaker 2: there's a couple other options. One, it will be posted
Speaker 2: live to our website under Prizes, or you can download
Speaker 2: the E R r L Events app, and you can
Speaker 2: watch it live there also. And what's nice with the
Speaker 2: events app if you download it, you can get all
Speaker 2: the information I'm talking about here live on your phone.
Speaker 2: It has the map of the fairgrounds that has what
Speaker 2: all the vendors are. You can click on a vendor,
Speaker 2: it will show you on the map where they are.
Speaker 2: All your forms are on there, everything on there. You
Speaker 2: can even talk with other attendees through it. You can
Speaker 2: schedule meetups with people. There's a lot of stuff on
Speaker 2: the ARL Events after you.
Speaker 1: Can do you guys use that in the path. I'm
Speaker 1: installing it right now. You guys have used that in
Speaker 1: the past, haven't you correct?
Speaker 2: Originally it was us and ham Benson. We went jointly
Speaker 2: with ARL to create the app, and I do know
Speaker 2: I believe next year Huntsville is actually coming in with
Speaker 2: us on it, so all three of us will be
Speaker 2: using it for the future.
Speaker 1: Okay, I just installed. It's just just well, okay, I
Speaker 1: don't know about iOS, but on Android, just search a
Speaker 1: double L event. That's what I searched. It was the
Speaker 1: first one to come up was a gray icon. As
Speaker 1: soon as you open the app, I didn't log in
Speaker 1: or anything. That's the first thing. It says February seven
Speaker 1: to nine, twenty twenty five, Orlando, Florida, twenty twenty five, Orlando, HIMNCAS.
Speaker 1: So it's right there, easy, easy, so cool.
Speaker 2: Good, I've got that, Abbie real quick news. Also, we
Speaker 2: can send it straight to their any updates. We can
Speaker 2: send live messages to all the users on that app.
Speaker 1: Also, good, good, nice, good, yeah nice.
Speaker 3: I'm glad that app is improving it more and more,
Speaker 3: and I think this year is probably really gonna shine.
Speaker 2: And every year we notice we try to make improvements
Speaker 2: to it. Arl tries to do improvements, and every year
Speaker 2: it's getting more and more popular people using it.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Yeah good. Okay, I got to remember my log in now,
Speaker 1: but okay, I'll come back to that later.
Speaker 3: And just to point out that app is both Android
Speaker 3: and iOS.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's both. Yeah, yeah, And there's actually also I
Speaker 2: believe a website version of it if you click the link. Also,
Speaker 2: I think you can actually view it on a website.
Speaker 1: Oh nice, Okay, all right, cool.
Speaker 3: Knox did say one other thing and I lost it here.
Speaker 1: Available on Apple and Android. Yeah, I assumed it was.
Speaker 1: Richard says the same thing. I just didn't know, if
Speaker 1: it was as easy to just log in and you're there.
Speaker 3: So this live now with their information?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's it's live now for sure. But yeah,
Speaker 1: a good deal. Okay.
Speaker 2: And the other thing that's actually live on the website
Speaker 2: I just uploaded right before we started this, uh live
Speaker 2: stream here. Actually our twenty five program is up and
Speaker 2: live on the website also right now, so it will
Speaker 2: have all the forums in it. Everything's up to date
Speaker 2: in there, well up to day as of when it
Speaker 2: was being printed, which was about we yeah, uh so,
Speaker 2: but it is live up. But there also the map
Speaker 2: of the fairgrounds so yeah so pdf.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there it is right there. Okay, I did.
Speaker 1: I saw the link to that a minute ago and
Speaker 1: I meant to ask you about it and I got
Speaker 1: that and then we got sidetracked about something. But yeah, good.
Speaker 1: So will there be printed copies of this there?
Speaker 2: Know, they will will have printed copies also there so
Speaker 2: people can walk around with them. We'll have them all
Speaker 2: over the place. The main place you can get them,
Speaker 2: of course, will be the Price of Info booth where
Speaker 2: the main sources, but a lot of the volunteers will
Speaker 2: have them, will have them at the doors when people
Speaker 2: come in handing them out stuff like that.
Speaker 1: So excellent, excellent, okay, good, yeah, this is always good info. Yep,
Speaker 1: so good map. Good map in there too.
Speaker 3: Nice.
Speaker 2: One thing I didn't mention actually was our swaps, our
Speaker 2: indoor flea market area.
Speaker 1: Yes, I was. I was about to ask about that,
Speaker 1: go ahead.
Speaker 2: I just saw the map there and reminded me of
Speaker 2: But yeah, indoor swaps area. We have over three hundred
Speaker 2: tables and one building with nothing but indoor flea market stuff.
Speaker 2: So lots of used gear, lots of different stuff.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: That's always that's always a fun place to walk through
Speaker 1: and see. Yeah, see what's in there? Now. These these
Speaker 1: rooftop antenna tower guys, I think they were at Dayton
Speaker 1: last year.
Speaker 2: And uh yeah, I think they were too.
Speaker 1: Okay, And I saw them and I took their card,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, that would work perfectly for what I need,
Speaker 1: and then I never I never followed up with them.
Speaker 1: My wife and I keep talking about moving, so I
Speaker 1: hesitate to put something in the house, but it may
Speaker 1: just have to happen one of these days for the
Speaker 1: back of it.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'll talk to him.
Speaker 1: I will. I will absolutely do that. So okay, good.
Speaker 1: This is great.
Speaker 3: Okay, what do you have any other questions in the chat? Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm still washing. Let me know and I'll read them
Speaker 3: on the air. And the questions about the Ham thest
Speaker 3: uh Sam. I think the guys in the chat tried
Speaker 3: to help you out with your antenna, but that's not
Speaker 3: the top. Yeah, it's all about First off, congratulates the Sam.
Speaker 3: He's he is a new ham and ten advice and
Speaker 3: Discord is also a great place for that.
Speaker 1: I saw Bill pointing someone to the Discord, so maybe
Speaker 1: maybe that's who he was talking to. So and then
Speaker 1: gray Man Poda asked about Carlos doing a skydive jump,
Speaker 1: and last I spoke to Carlos, he was he's not
Speaker 1: going to be able to attend this year, so that's
Speaker 1: kind of out of the I don't know, are you
Speaker 1: guys familiar Michael, you guys familiar with his crazy? I'll
Speaker 1: just call it craziness. That's that's what I think it is.
Speaker 1: But uh, he does. Yeah, so he'll do a there's
Speaker 1: a local skydive place, well there's skydiade places apparently all
Speaker 1: over the nation. But he'll do a local skydive jump
Speaker 1: and he'll get on a frequency and uh, last year
Speaker 1: we did it. He was he well, he did several jumps,
Speaker 1: but one of the jumps he dedicated to the youth.
Speaker 1: So Steve good game K five a t A got
Speaker 1: out there with all of his students and he's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna wait for Carlos to say go
Speaker 1: and then he's gonna start calling CQ and all the
Speaker 1: all the students were able to work him on aeronautical
Speaker 1: mobile and he was ten fifteen thousand feet in the
Speaker 1: year however, how it was, and he worked him on
Speaker 1: simplex on somewhere on two meters simplex. So it was
Speaker 1: it was a really it's a fun thing to do
Speaker 1: if you've never done it. So but I when I
Speaker 1: spoke to Carlos about I tried to get him to
Speaker 1: I tried to give him one of our spot, one
Speaker 1: of the spots in our camper, and he said he
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna be able to make it this year unfortunately.
Speaker 3: Mmh, but.

Speaker 2: they're doing several different forms. The membership forum also is
Speaker 2: one of them they're doing, so I do know the
Speaker 2: CEO will be here. So yeah, so there there's gonna
Speaker 2: be a good, good turnout there. I do know. The
Speaker 2: other thing that I'll talk about real quick is we've
Speaker 2: been going to We have actually an international relations team
Speaker 2: that's been going to Freedom Shoten these shows, different shows
Speaker 2: over there across the Pond, and every year it pays
Speaker 2: off more and more. This year we counted already the
Speaker 2: pre registered that we know are coming. We have thirty
Speaker 2: two different countries coming to Wow.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, yeah, so I do know like from Brazil,
Speaker 2: there's lots of people coming from Brazil this year. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so I actually I think somebody in the chat even
Speaker 2: said something earlier about Brazil coming. But there's probably a
Speaker 2: good I would say twenty to thirty people probably coming
Speaker 2: from Brazil.
Speaker 1: Nice, that's pretty good. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Are y'all doing anything to help highlight the different nations
Speaker 3: or are they actually coming and you have like an
Speaker 3: international like group booth area that they could well.
Speaker 2: Have a international relations Uh. It is actually right across
Speaker 2: from ARL right in that same area next to dark booth.
Speaker 2: But yeah, you can go there. Our international relations team
Speaker 2: will be there to talk to people. There's actually a sign,
Speaker 2: a book to sign that you put your country, so
Speaker 2: it basically says you've been to Hampcation and we keep
Speaker 2: those books every year of everybody that comes.
Speaker 3: Can we get a working note so we can.
Speaker 1: Frank, No, no, Frank. What we need to do is
Speaker 1: we need to go down there and put our country
Speaker 1: is Texas.
Speaker 3: I was already gonna say that, but I decided.
Speaker 1: Not because no, no, come on, and people expect us
Speaker 1: to say that. Come on, that's be good. That needs
Speaker 1: to happen the nation of Texas.
Speaker 3: Now is it? Is it Hampcation or Dayton that has
Speaker 3: the board with the walk up board that you can
Speaker 3: pin where you came from and they have this the
Speaker 3: all the pins of all over the world.
Speaker 2: That's Dayton has that? Actually?
Speaker 3: Okay, because I have been known to leave a tank
Speaker 3: radio sticker on Dallas.
Speaker 1: That doesn't surprise me. That does not surprise me.
Speaker 3: So I don't stick it to what. I put a
Speaker 3: pin in it.
Speaker 1: Just put a pin in it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and let a fan pick it up.
Speaker 2: Wrong with that?

Speaker 2: The other thing I forgot to mention under affiliate events
Speaker 2: was the Florida Contest Dinner. If you're a contestor, please
Speaker 2: check that out. So it's under affiliated events. You can
Speaker 2: click the link there to go to order tickets and
Speaker 2: stuff like that. For that, I believe that as Friday night.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, good awesome, it's great and I can't wait. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be I mean, especially if we get normal
Speaker 1: I say normal Florida weather, you know, high of you know,
Speaker 1: average of seventy five with a fifty chance of rain
Speaker 1: is normal Florida weather to me. But it's better than
Speaker 1: being in the thirties, which is what we've done here
Speaker 1: in Tech for the last couple of weeks. So I'm
Speaker 1: hoping for a nice, not hot, but warm. Sixty seventies
Speaker 1: would be fine. Sixty seventies would be fine. I think
Speaker 1: that'd be that'd be awesome. So so I hope that's
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen there. But you said that's what it's
Speaker 1: looking right right now of Courds. It's a week and
Speaker 1: a half out, but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so far. Because I saw the long term forecast
Speaker 2: for actually the whole month of February, they're saying seventies
Speaker 2: and eighties. So it looks like our cooler weather, our
Speaker 2: cold weather, should be done. They're saying.
Speaker 1: Good.
Speaker 3: I'm looking to warm up because it's been freezing over
Speaker 3: the snow. And we were outside smoking cigars this weekend
Speaker 3: with gloves on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we were.
Speaker 4: Yeah, before the show started, I was talking to Jason
Speaker 4: and I was joking about North Florida was like ten
Speaker 4: to thirteen inches of snow and somehow there is in
Speaker 4: North Florida, which for us in Florida, we don't get
Speaker 4: snow very often.
Speaker 2: And it literally shut down IM from the start of
Speaker 2: Florida all the way through because it was nothing to do.
Speaker 2: They couldn't plow it or nothing.
Speaker 1: I heard I think it was they were talking about Florida,
Speaker 1: how it snowed in an area that it hadn't snowed
Speaker 1: in for like fifteen or twenty years, and all the
Speaker 1: schools were just like, everybody, stay home, just just just
Speaker 1: just go home. We don't have we can't. We don't
Speaker 1: have snowplows or ice machines for the roads to take
Speaker 1: care of this nothing. Oh gosh, that's that's good.
Speaker 3: I love it. We just shut down this thread of snow.
Speaker 1: I saw a really good meme I was. I was
Speaker 1: sitting on the couch searching memes between my downtimes between
Speaker 1: the radio, as you know, Frank this last weekend, and
Speaker 1: it said it said something I'm paraphrase. It said, if
Speaker 1: it snows, stay home. Once you guys learn how to
Speaker 1: drive in the sun, then we'll talk further like that
Speaker 1: is what we need in Texas right there.
Speaker 3: Pretty much. I'm not saying anything other than other than
Speaker 3: coming in. Oh, snow shoes needed this year. Oh can
Speaker 3: you have a cigar room? That would be awesome.
Speaker 1: If it's like most places they probably most places don't
Speaker 1: allow smoking inside anymore, but they've got that awesome, awesome
Speaker 1: camp site r V spot. You don't need a cigar room.
Speaker 1: That's where we'll be. Yeah, you know, I'd much rather
Speaker 1: be outside if at all possible, especially if the weather's nice.
Speaker 3: So we'll put a radio or two in it. You know,
Speaker 3: we'll make this thing nice.
Speaker 1: We'll make it, we'll make it happen. So yep, good, awesome, Well,
Speaker 1: anything else from the chat you guys let us know
Speaker 1: if there's any other questions. Good to hear Michael that
Speaker 1: you guys have are ahead of where you were this
Speaker 1: time last year. That's always good to see Hamfest growing
Speaker 1: this day and age. So and you guys do a
Speaker 1: fantastic job out there with with the whole ham casion
Speaker 1: set up, really good location, well attended vendors and attendees
Speaker 1: from all over the world, which which is always a
Speaker 1: good thing. So I'm I look forward to it every
Speaker 1: year and I'm definitely looking forward to it again this year.
Speaker 2: Just like a couple last things on my end as one.
Speaker 2: Without volunteers, the show would not happen. So please thank
Speaker 2: the volunteers when you see them at the shows. Just
Speaker 2: on our show, any handfest you go to, they are
Speaker 2: all done by volunteers. For us, it's four to five
Speaker 2: hundred volunteers to put on the show, so please thank them.
Speaker 2: And the last thing is for our event. Without our sponsors,
Speaker 2: it wouldn't happen also, so our platinum sponsors this year
Speaker 2: was Gigaparts. They've been a platinum sponsor for several years now,
Speaker 2: donate lots of prizes and stuff to us Icon America.
Speaker 2: Silver sponsor this year is d E two d X Electronics.
Speaker 2: New one this year is Revenous R E T E
Speaker 2: v I s H. They actually are not even coming
Speaker 2: to handcashon UH, but they contacted us to be a
Speaker 2: plant or a sponsor, so we're actually given out fifty
Speaker 2: of their brand new amateur radio handhelds good so yeah,
Speaker 2: so those would be prices. And the other one is
Speaker 2: a gold sponsor was DX Engineering. So please see these
Speaker 2: companies at Handcashion. Thank them for donating lots of the prizes.
Speaker 1: So yeah, excellent, good. I thought Reddivus was going to
Speaker 1: be there, did they? Were they trying to and just
Speaker 1: couldn't make it or something.
Speaker 2: I do know that they have their local distributor, the
Speaker 2: one that sells their radios, will be there. Actually, I
Speaker 2: believe it's M and L Electronics. Okay, okay, so they
Speaker 2: and apparently they supposed to be a rep from Rivenous
Speaker 2: supposed to be visiting. I've heard it both, so I
Speaker 2: do know that. But yeah, okay, it might have been
Speaker 2: they were trying to have their own booth but couldn't
Speaker 2: make it over. But I do know that somebody supposed
Speaker 2: to be here.
Speaker 1: Good, okay, good, excellent, Okay. Yeah, they had sent me
Speaker 1: they want me to come by and do an interview
Speaker 1: with them because they they they've they've been sending me
Speaker 1: radios for years. Great people, and so they said, hey,
Speaker 1: we're going to be there. I think I think you're right.
Speaker 1: They did say, hey, one of our vendors is going
Speaker 1: to be there. Would you mind walking by and talking
Speaker 1: to them? And I'm like sure, yeah, that's fine. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it's probably something I'll get on camera myself. So excellent. Well,
Speaker 1: once again, this is going to be a great show.
Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to it. We've had this booked
Speaker 1: for a long time. Can't can't really say much more
Speaker 1: than that, it's hopefully even if the weather doesn't hold,
Speaker 1: it's still gonna be really fun show. Everything's well, I
Speaker 1: shouldn't say everything's indoors, there's a lot of stuff indoors.
Speaker 1: There's swaps indoors, and of course all the vendors are indoors,
Speaker 1: and there's a great outdoor tailgate section if the weather holds.
Speaker 1: But Florida's like Texas, if you don't like the weather,
Speaker 1: just wait a half hour.
Speaker 2: So it's one of the only places that can be
Speaker 2: forty to reason the morning. Yeah, in the afternoon, that's true.
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure. So well, thanks a lot for your
