Good luck! You and your team have put so much effort into this event! We certainly live in a great era for Amateur Radio. Vy 73, Eric de Michael W8CI
Sorry but I cannot believe people will actually pay to visit a virtual product that they want to sell. How dumb do you have be to get ripped off like this.
Jose - are you suggesting that I am a thief? Do you know me, Jose? Did you come to the Expo and experience getting ripped off? Or does your keyboard give you strength that you don't have in person to make unsubstantiated claims about me? 73, Eric
I can't believe this comment . . . That event turned out to be a phenomenal mix of speakers and subjects. I have spent many hours now learning about new ham subjects, and it has been an immense joy. For $10 admission you got an entire college semester full of education about your hobby. I also went into various lounges and spoke to representatives of companies I like or have considered, and got technical questions answered about their gear. There's no way this was a ripoff. You have to wonder why someone like this Jose guy could come on here in public and say something like that. WOW. Eric, Job well done my friend! Dave, W7DGJ
