Anybody going?

If so, could I trouble you for a few snapshots?

[ I was supposed to go, but my ride fell through, and I have to be at work late on Thursday (new airline, IcelandAir, is launching from PIT, the top brass expect me to present... so it goes). Trying to snag a ride to try and make Saturday, but so far no luck. ]

The 10M Gang is down there. I had to stay home - closing on the old place by the end of the month and need help getting some things moved. Thus, you work around the help's schedules.

any announcements that matter (other than LotW and other ARRL properties having been off the air for the whole time?)

Ten Tec announced the Omni VIII, due out this fall and in the $2K price range.

I saw that somewhere yesterday and felt confused. I was under the impression that there would no longer be a Ten Tec unless they made a deal with China because they just weren't going to manufacture here anymore. Shuttered facility etc and all that.
That was a couple of years ago. Now what?

I'll believe it when I see it. (Former owner of an Omni VI and VII...)

Me three.

I’m sure Mike is sincere. And I know he’s had complications beyond his control. So I say this without malice... I want him to pull this off, I really do.

But I’ll believe it when I see it.
