THANK YOU to those I met from this list today out at the Palm Springs HamFest!

We had a blast ... worked SO-50, AO-73, and APRS on the ISS - all before noon.

And when a guest speaker had a personal emergency crop up minutes before his scheduled time, the convention manager snagged me and declared, "Clint, you're on!"

So I conducted a completely off-the-cuff "Q&A" session - and we all had a great time.

Wonderful event ... well-attended ... not too hot for Palm Springs ... ARRL reps there, and AMSAT's FOX-1A project promoted to all within earshot (grin).

For raffle prizes, I acquired a Heil PR-10 Set from Dr. Heil, a gift certificate from RT Systems, and I offered a new Arrow 146/437-10WBP for $50 off to a happy ham.

If you are in the Southern California region, please make it a point to attend this wonderful show next year - the second Saturday in March.
