Last week I attended NEAR-Fest in Deerfield NH with fellow club member K1YU. Picked up a few SMA to PL-259 connectors to run my HT using the Comet antenna on the roof. Also purchased the Yaesu ADMS-2K kit. This kit includes the radio to PC cable for my FT-7800 base and the RT Systems software.

NEAR-Fest was my first amateur radio festival. Beautiful weather and a large number of vendors made this a great day. Many, many awesome rigs were for sale but I held back. Been eyeing the Icom 756 PRO. Hope NEAR-Fest runs again and soon. Many thanks to K1YU for showing me around NEAR-Fest. Thanks also to KA1GJU for the great food.
