    Hamvention 2024

    Anybody going?

    If so, could I trouble you for a few snapshots?

    [ I was supposed to go, but my ride fell through, and I have to be at work late on Thursday (new airline, IcelandAir, is launching from PIT, the top brass expect me to present... so it goes). Trying to snag a ride to try and make Saturday, but so far no luck. ]

    The 10M Gang is down there. I had to stay home - closing on the old place by the end of the month and need help getting some things moved. Thus, you work around the help's schedules.

    I saw that somewhere yesterday and felt confused. I was under the impression that there would no longer be a Ten Tec unless they made a deal with China because they just weren't going to manufacture here anymore. Shuttered facility etc and all that.
    That was a couple of years ago. Now what?

    I'll believe it when I see it. (Former owner of an Omni VI and VII...)

    Me three.

    I’m sure Mike is sincere. And I know he’s had complications beyond his control. So I say this without malice... I want him to pull this off, I really do.

    But I’ll believe it when I see it.
