We are about 8 weeks away from the first QSO Today Virtual Ham Expo, and have started in earnest to sell exhibitor booths to pay for this event. As I write this, FlexRadio and RT Systems have signed to be the first Gold Sponsors after Icom's Platinum position. These companies will lead the way for the rest of the exhibitors so that we can create an amazing and memorable event for the ham radio community. Brad, Emanuela, and I are making calls and demonstrations of the unique platform that we are using to make this event. Its fun and on the edge.
I told a well known ham and business person in the ham radio community as I was making a demonstration for his company, that my first vision of a pioneer is the American settler with his face down in the dust of the Great Plains with a few arrows in his back. Its hard to be first and you hope that the arrows are not deep enough to hurt.
When I need a ham radio logo or QSL Card, my first choice is always Jeff Murray, K1NSS. Jeff was kind enough to do a spectacular job on the "Expo" logo with our name inside of a magnetic loop antenna. Its a beautiful representation (above) of what I wanted to express and besides it will look good on coffee cups and hats.
I had a great conversation with Tim Carter, W3ATB, who is my guest this week. Tim is a relatively new ham, but an old hand in being a media personality. Tim was the first full time remodeling guy with a radio talk show, years ago. Since then he has created a great media business around his building interests. When he became a ham, his first act was to find a mentor to get him to success fast. That is why I called this message from Zero to 60 in four seconds. Tim says in the show that a ham radio mentor is the fastest way to success and enjoyment of the hobby. I can't agree more.
Thanks for listening. Stay safe and be careful out there.
