Default Hanvention 2017

Who's going this year? It's been a while since I have gone to Hamvention. I lived about a mile from Hara Arena for 18 years and went twice wasn't licensed for part of that time. I will leave on Sunday, the 14th and take my time going up. I will settle down in Ohio at the Lancaster Ohio Campground, I believe at one time it was a church camp. My son, KG7OF lives in Pickerington about 30 miles from where I will camp. I could have gotten closer but nearly all of them had lousy reviews. Most state parks in Ohio are electric only because of the freezing climate so I wasn't interested in them. There are RV sites at the fairground but the prices I initially saw were ridiculous. I see they are booked full now,

We plan to attend Hamvention on Friday. It's about an hour drive from his house. DW wanted to go this year so we could see our Great Granddaughter. I am going to spend one day to visit the AF Museum. One day isn't enough to see it all but that's about as much exercise I can handle. I was reading a ham forum and seems some people want to boycott the event because of the site that was chosen. They were saying they didn't want to go to a "cattle barn". I thought Hara was a cattle barn when I lived there, that place was ready to fall in 20 years ago, the Wampler family didn't give it much maintenance.
