HAM fest (amateur radio) in Monument Colorado?

[streetglideok]

$1600 or around that for cost. Looks better suited at home though, doesn't it? Seems though Icom does decent on HF rigs, but falls flat on their face for vhf/uhf as of late.

I came, I saw a few interesting vendors, some real old junk, some not so old junk, more than a few real nice antennas. If you lived a short distance from the event, I would rate it worth going. This was one of the first events that I have been to in 10+ years, small, very small, but I did get to see the local groups and some neat mobile command posts.

This should be a bit closer to Denver and I would think somewhat bigger

This will be more of a how-to-session, the flyer follows
