Title: Hanvention could make for event travelers communicating and contacts? Sure...
Post by: ThaDood 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 APRS map around Dayton is entertaining around this time of year.
