Wow! We had a great turnout today and nearly filled the room with probably 75-80 folks. Special thanks to Bill W4GRW (Forum Manager) and Hal N4QT (Carolina DX Association President) for allowing us to present and for the nice publicity on the hamfest website:

Christian KF4LXB did the heavy lifting with a very professional PowerPoint presentation based on N7UN’s slides which Christian customized for our W4C Association (NC/SC).
Christian, Pat KI4SVM, Pete WH6LE, Tommy W4TZM and myself then followed up with brief demonstrations of our SOTA setups. We ran out of time and then adjourned to the building entrance where we had several interested folks lingering for up to an hour. I think it’s a safe bet to say we’ll get some SOTA converts from the attendees.
We also had Lee AA4GA from the Atlanta area in attendance as well as Larry AE4LD, President of LNR Precision which now manufactures the EFHWs formerly sold by Par Electronics.
Thanks again to all the participants and attendees! Now I’m off to listen for Christian and Pat who are activating W4C/WP-010 after the hamfest.
