Sorry . . . no photo with this post. On Saturday night, August 23, 2008, YCCC members, Elecraft president Eric Swartz and his wife Lerma, and receiver performance measurement expert Rob Sherwood broke bread at Legal Seafood in Framingham, MA. Eric and Rob spoke earlier during the ARRL New England Division Convention in Boxborough, MA. Local attendees were W1STT, K1EA, W1WEF, K1EP, K1IR and XYL Sue.

 KT1D decided to come over and give WPX CW a try this weekend. We just got back from Dayton and thoughts of Skimmer were floating through his mind. So, Tim brought along his SDR and hooked it up just before the contest started. We had to fix the 80m 4-square and get a logging program running first, so Skimmer was a last-minute project.

The weather was just fine - contrary to warnings from www.weatherunderground.com. Don't trust anyone when you want to know what the weather will be in Dayton on Hamvention weekend.
