I'm glad I was able to make it over there for this event. Sorry I cant do it every year. Bob Vk6POP

[@PaulAnslow]

I wasn't able to make it this year due to unforeseen events. The video helped to see what I missed out on and even with the weather I wished I'd made it. 😁 Thanks to you both for sharing and see you at Antennapalooza 2024!

[@DropTableAdventures]

Thanks, and glad you like the video. Hope to see you in 2024.

I enjoyed the presentations and the chats but watching the vehicle extraction Sunday afternoon was one of the highlights. Hopefully next year will be drier. VK3TTT

[@DropTableAdventures]

Hope so as well, and hope to see you there next year!

[@vk3xe]

I was really hoping to see the 10m yagi in the end. Hopefully I make it next year

[@DropTableAdventures]

Yeah, I'm disappointed I didn't get it finished, the weather was a real pain...

Despite buying the WIA Foundation Manual*, consistently passing the online trial outline foundation assessment, and knowing the joke about the two antennas that got married, I've never gotten my license. Incidentally, I literally took a big bite of a burrito right as 9:13 came, and I felt like you were judging me :P (* Although, I haven't read it yet)

[@DropTableAdventures]

Ahh, you'll get there in the end. And timing is everything...

[@robzyb]

@@DropTableAdventures just to clarify, I've never even sat the test :P It was something I was considering but never did. Looking at the WIA website today made me remember why I didn't go for a license when I bought the book 10 years ago - foundation licenses couldn't DIY.

[@DropTableAdventures]

Yeah, the DIY limitation was what put me off for a while - in the end I ended up studying up and going straight to Advanced. But that and no data is not a limitation any more...

[@virtual812]

@3:23 I can see the numbers floating around their head.... Wait What???

[@DropTableAdventures]

Yeah! For 2m / VHF a tape measure yagi is a bit unwieldy, and this one's for HF!? I'll finish it someday...
