Jet-Set Ernie off on another mission !

This week we sent the intrepid G4LUE – ERNIE off to the states for the Dayton Hamvention.

Look out for the pictures this year in the gallery on his return. For those that cannot wait for Ernie to develop his pictures the event can also be viewed live via WA5KUB helmet cam – another fantastic ustreamer!

The Dayton Hamvention that takes place every year is widely considered to be one of the largest HamFests in the world.
Using the call sign W/G4LUE Ernie can be heard working D-Star and will bring back with him all the latest news and gossip. Again an example of how South Yorkshire Repeater Group is helping to form international links with amateurs world wide.
The largest companies attend the Dayton Hamvention with Kenwood already announcing 3 new radios for 2010 to be launched at the hamvention.We look forward to hearing the news from all the attendee’s and particularly any news from the DVAP chappies ;-)
