@TheSmokinApe @HamRadioDX Hopefully next year

@HamRadioDX Gonna miss you bro…

Unfortunately I won't be at Hamvention this year :( I've had a few personal things to deal with in the past few months & due to the rising cost of everything (last time it cost over 5 figures!) I just wasn't able. Hopefully in 2026. For those attending, have a awesome time!
