I made it back to Columbus safely 🙂

#Hamvention #Hamvention2026

I don't think I'm going to head back to Hamvention tomorrow 😢

I have to be back in Columbus before the closing ceremony begins...

So, I've put vanilla/stock Meshtastic back on my portable node, and restored the keys/configs

I hope everyone has safe travels back home!

@Lino0876 Me too! #HamRadio #AmateurRadio #Hamvention2026 #POTA

I made it back to my friend's place for the evening.

I ducked out a little early from Hamvention

I got really exhausted from being on my feet all day, BUT I did get that antenna I was looking for ordered!

I'll be posting a blog post with more pictures within the next week or so 🙂 I took a lot more pictures today!

it's great to see so many newer logging apps popping up here at Hamvention

so far, I've seen, World Radio League, HamLog.Online, and HamTrax.com

I'm sure there are more here that I've missed

I ordered a taller antenna for the top of my car, 👀

the new antenna is 38 inches (~96.5 cm), it's somewhat flexible and folds down if needed, which is a plus

unfortunately, DX Engineering didn't have the specific one I wanted in stock here, so it has been ordered

I'm surprised I'm *only* connected to 255 nodes at Hamvention, 😂

I'm sure there are more out there, lol

the Fediverse meetup at Hamvention went well!

I learned I need to print some stickers to pass out to others, 😂

my hat is done!

#Hamvention #Hamvention2026

and, of course, Debian 13.5 releases while I'm at Hamvention, 😂 hopefully nothing critical is being patched...

there are so many sweepstakes to enter here at Hamvention, 👀

no idea what everyone is doing with the info collected, BUT, for an Icom 7300 MK2, it might be worth it, 😂

#Hamvention #Hamvention2026

I've made it back today! it's a bit wet, but I'm looking forward to so many things!

especially the Fediverse meetup!

DX Engineering will build custom cables. #hamvention2026

Carlson Tower Lift is a shuttle assembly on a Rohn 25 tower that brings your antenna(s) down the tower, and back up. Very cool!!! roof towers.com #hamvention2026

I'm getting a "there has been a critical error on this website " error
