 AdW> Alabama's Huntsville Hamfest proudly promotes itself as "The
 AdW> World's Friendliest Hamfest!" It's been only a few days since
 AdW> the convention ended, and that sentiment is still resonating
 AdW> among those of us who attended the 2026 ARRL National
 AdW> Convention hosted by the Huntsville Hamfest, August 21 - 23.

 AdW> You could feel the welcome almost immediately.

  I was there, representing the Quarter Century Wireless Association
(QCWA). However, the 15 hour bus ride round trip, resulting in swollen
feet, and all the walking, just about did me in.

  I do have a PDF file with my report on that, if anyone is interested;
they can email me at n5vlz at duck dot com (it forwards to my main
email, and detects any trackers). If you're on D-Rats, it's in my
D-Rats Files Area.

Daryl, NK5LA
