Winter continues apace here in the Colorado Rockies – we usually get through this time of year by enjoying some of those 300+ annual days of sunshine that the local Chamber of Commerce tells you about.  This year rather I’m getting through the winter by planning our attendance at Ham Fests and Conventions for the next year.  Gordon, WØRUN, and I will be at the Orland Hamcation February 12 – 14, so please stop by to say hello if you are also attending the event.  Although I know Florida has had some cold days this past winter, I DON’T expect to see feet of snow, hi, hi.  Our next trip is to Visalia in April, then Dayton in May, Seaside and the Dallas HamCom in June.  I’d love to get your input and suggestions of where else we should take the Alpha “show on the road” this year.   There are plenty of weekends not yet spoken for so please send me your suggestions.
