I have not been to that one is quite a while, but typically you have a few places that are actually selling things, but most are "show and tell" and new products. Most of what is for sale at the show is smaller items - you generally will not find any panels and the like for sale (though sometimes on the last day a few vendors will sell off their demo stuff just so they don't have to pack it up and haul it).

I should note that over the past few years the show has gotten a lot more politicised and a bit more "fringy" than it used to be, but not hard to just avoid those booths if you so desire. I think the last time we sent someone there was 2007, and there were over a dozen "politics and causes" booths setup. Pretty much now we only hit the local (AZ) and West coast ones.

Yes boB and I will be there we will be the ones with the 20 meter Dipole above the tents and the Ham radio going in the booth. boB promised to teach me CW (Morse Code) in 3 days

Look forward to meeting every one this year

We'll sure see what we can do ! Hopefully higher than 0 wpm.

Last time I worked CW was mobile.

I have one of those old B1 bomber leg keys in the car. Gotta get the paddle working
and make a leg mount for that some time.
