Radio Enthusiasts Ham It Up at Expo:

BELTON -- About 1,000 ham radio enthusiasts showed up to buy, sell or trade
at the Bell County Expo Center on Saturday. The Ham Expo included about 250
commercial and individual vendors with radios, antennas, cables and other
electronic equipment on display. Temple Amateur Radio Club has sponsored a
spring and fall ham fest since 1994, said Myron Mesecke, club
secretary. "Some of the commercial vendors make their living going to these
events," he said. Others come from ham radio stores that also make the area
sales events, he said. Steve Roberts, manager of Houston Amateur Radio
Supply Inc., said he attends about 15 shows a year. A lot of people were
looking for accessories, microphones and radios, he said. He also displayed
used equipment taken as trade-ins. There have been technological changes in
the ham radio world, he said. The addition of digital modes and Internet
linking has made it possible to plug the ham radio into an Internet tower,
he said. Towers may be knocked out during a disaster, he said, but the
older, basic ham radio will always be there. "The point-to-point radio
system that has worked since the days of Marconi will still work if the
infrastructures of today fail," he said.
