There's still a big warning about YOU MAY GET COVIIIIIIIIIIIID!!!!!!1! on the order form for tickets, but if that keeps some idiots away there's more good junk for me.

The funny thing is, I even have a General ticket and my first thought was that is was a convention for fat asses.

Of course, from the functions I've been too, I'm probably still not wrong.

It does tend to have a good deal of ham, and I'm not talking The Ohio Pork Board food booth.

You operate a radio?

I have a license and a Baofeng handheld. Haven't done much with it.

The license was more of a thing I could do Because. It looks good in electronics. I've never talked on my equipment, but I probably would during severe weather events if the situation demanded it.

I go to Dayton (Xenia now) because it's a huge parts and equipment flea market.

You should take a Skywarn class from NOAA. It makes you a "trained spotter." It's also damned good information to have, and I think that it should be part of all HS curriculums in tornado alley. I signed up for RACES here, and Skywarn is required training, but I'm glad to have it overall.

That's been something I've wanted to do. We'll see if things shape up this year, or if a new scare comes along.

Cool.

I learned a lot studying for the license. I ended up getting the general even though I only expected to pass the tech level.

I just went for technician at the time because I could pass it with nothing other than my professional knowledge. I may study for the general and see if I can pass it.

Same. I didn't bother taking Expert because I barely squeaked by to General.

Got my amateur extra just in time for all the ham conventions to be shut down! Just once I would like to attend one, in person and not on zoom!

Stuff seems to be happening now. I went to a few last summer, people were happy to get out.
