  • Flea market with everything imaginable.
  • TAPR presentations by the luminaries of the field: Jeremy McDermott sweeping SDR techology overview, Bruce K6BP discussed Codec 2, Bob Bruninga shotgunned APRS ideas, Byon N6BG talked about trackers, Don W6GPS introduced the new Avmap G6, Haikki OH7LZB announced new features in http://aprs.fi
  • Gordon West WB6NOA produces training materials, and demonstrated many techniques to engage students. He’s a terrific public speaker.
  • “Operating Techniques of the Best Operators” by Mitch W1SJ
  • “VHF Weak Signal Dinner” where I sat with Marty N6VI, ARRL VHF Director
  • Then, a lowlight of the day, trying to find my way back to camp in the dark. Lost. Late. Dark. Road construction. No GPS. iPhone almost dead. Phone charger back at camp. Finally rode 10 miles west on I-70 toward Illinois and retraced my original approach. Home at midnight.

  1. I wish I could come!
  2. Such freedom! (um, not really, but they like to think so)
  3. I had a bike once … (proceeds to tell me all about it)
  4. Get a sidecar and bring me! (huh? then it’s not a motorcycle)
  5. Get a helmet camera so I can watch
  6. Is that bike new? (no, but it was new in 2000 when I bought it)
  7. I didn’t know BMW made motorcycles (heard more often in the midwest, presumably because the motorcycle dealers are so far away)
  8. Ride carefully, ride safely, be careful, and many other cautionary wishes
