Today wasn't much - the exhibitors were still setting up.
There were two seminars, one on antennas and one on emcom - Emergency Communications. Unfortunately, they were both booked solid months ago with people waiting and no chance of auditing. I am on my own pathway to Emergency Communications but I really need to learn antennas as I am moving from Technician class (with prepackaged systems and limited operating frequencies) to General and Extra (where you need to be able to do a significant amount of design - not just order boxes from Amazon).
Since there wasn't much to do today, I drove down to Cape Meares. Here are three photos:
It was completely socked in but gorgeous. The fog bank was very localized though:
A fun day - Cannon Beach seems to be not quite as tacky as Seaside but the places there were a lot more upscale and $$$. Seaside is more my style and the place I mentioned that roasted their own coffee did an amazing job - I will be there every morning.
Spent the evening at a fund-raising (three local ham radio clubs) spaghetti feed and then went to a local tavern for a couple of local brews - both were delightful!
