Wayne and I will also be giving several talks this morning, and Wayne will also be at the HFpack session this afternoon.

We're looking forward to meeting with everyone. Hope to see you there!

Hello Eric,

Is this hamfest held every year? Comparing Dayton, is it in similar scale? I
am planning a trip to US next year.

cheers,

Johnny VR2XMC

Johnny,

Go to the SEAPAC hamfest held each June in Seaside, Oregon. Elecraft does have a booth there. Seaside is a small resort town on the coast of Oregon and WX is usually great as long as a cloudy day now and then does not bother you. I go every year but I stay in Cannon Beach which is about 8 miles south of Seaside.

Elecraft at Pacificon, CA, Hamfest this weekend

In reply to this post by Johnny Siu

Thanks for all your replies.

Well, apparently there are a number of hamfest in US. Will there be any
schedules showing all the hamfest in a year round table? Apart from timing, the
availability of direct flight from Hong Kong is also my consideration.

Hi, Johnny. Pacificon is much smaller than Dayton. It is a good, regional
hamfest for general interest ham radio. I believe it attracts a few hundred
attendees. I go there occasionally. Performance operators (DXers and contesters)
go to the Visalia (CA) International DX Convention in much larger numbers in the
Spring. I go to Visalia almost every year to meet active operators from all over
the world. It is in California's great Central Valley, about half way between
San Francisco and Los Angeles. Of course, most of the attendees are from the US
but there is significant participation by non-US hams. Hope to see you next year
at one or the other of these good, California conventions.

73,

In reply to this post by Johnny Siu

Johnny,

Just back from Pacificon. Heard (and an official looking sign said the same) that Pacificon will be in Santa Clara, CA, next year. This is down the peninsula from San Francisco. A rumor is that next year the ARRL National Convention will be combined with Pacificon. So, yes, this might be a hamfest to attend, IMHO.

73,

Yes, next year's Pacificon does look like it's going to be the biggest ham event in the US.

Re: Elecraft at Pacificon, CA, Hamfest this weekend

Well, Dayton gets 20,000 people, Pacificon had maybe 2000. Not as
large. I feel the forums are better at Pacificon, as they have more
forums and rooms than Dayton. There are a lot of smart hams in the bay
area that really support the forums. The commercial and flea market
areas are not as large as Dayton.

I am not sure if next year is the ARRL National at Pacificon or the
year after. I arrived a bit late during the ARRL forum to catch that
bit of data. When the show is the ARRL National convention, they bring
the ARRL Expo, which I believe is the same as they setup at Dayton.
Next year is the new larger hotel!

I really like Pacificon, I go mainly for the forums to learn something
new. I enjoyed Gordon West at breakfast - great way to start the
morning, Cliff Stoll dinner speaker, moonbounce, WJST, 2M path to
Hawaii, wG0AT and his goat adventures, and other great forums. Plus
all day Friday's antenna forum for $10 is a bargain.

I gave a talk on WSPR, filled the small room at 8 AM Sunday morning
with about 35 people.

Looking forward to next year, make your reservations early, as the
hotel and special events typically sell out. Pacificon has become an
annual three day event for me.

A big THANKS to the Pacificon crew!

Randy
