Anyone plannin' on attendin' the 2006 Festival? junius Hello junius, I have attended 5 of the past 6 years. I always have a good time. There are many seminars that are presented over the two days that the fest runs (plus Thursday nights, or so I hear). Last year Bob Zanotti (Swiss Radio International co-host of the two Bobs program - now discontinued) and Ian McFarland od Radio Canada International (now retired) put on a great presentation emulating an actual type broadcast. You could close your eyes and imagine listening to either on shortwave! There are also presentations on scanners, DRM reception demonstrations, Satellite TC (free to air, not Direct TV or such), Pirate radio, ham radio and many, many more topics. They also have a great Banquet on Saturday night and have many great prizes in a drawing held at the banquet. A drawing ticket is included with the registration packet (for full registration) and you can buy more to increase your chances. They are $1.00 each and in the past they had 6 for $5 and 13 for $10. The grand prize (in the past) have been Drake R8B, Grundig Satellite, Lowe HF-150, Ten-Tec DSP (The $1,200 one) and the computer controlled Ten-Tec. They also had an Icon R-75. Many portables of lesser value plus many other radio items including SalectAtenna and wire antennas. Also many books on shortwave and other radio items. There were just too many items to mention - you must get there if you can - you will not be disappointed. Warren PS: I will be there if at all possible - had a GREAT time in the past. |

It is immediately off the Lansdale exit (first exit north from the East-West PA Turnpike). Warren Hello junius, I have attended 5 of the past 6 years. I always have a good time.
