Hanvention could make for event travelers communicating and contacts? Sure...
« on: May 14, 2025, 1751 UTC »
A little late to post this, but... With Hanvention in swing this weekend, over in Xenia, OH,    https://hamvention.org/   , one thing that I've noticed living near WV routes 64, 77, and 79, is the convoys of event travelers to & fro the event on FM Simplex FREQ's, like 2M 146.520MHz, 146.550MHz, 146.580MHz, 147.490MHz, and even 446.00MHz, 29.600MHz, and occasionally 52.525MHz. Not heard anyone on 223.500MHz, yet. I've even broken-in and contacted several of these travelers. So, could make for some neat scanner listening and even contacting this weekend.

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.

The APRS map around Dayton is entertaining around this time of year.
