Two updates this evening:

First: I will be attending the countries largest ham radio convention in Dayton, Ohio. The “Hamvention,” as it is known, usually draws over 50,000 “hams” from all over the country and world and this year should be no exception. It falls on 13-16 May this year. I originally had no intentions of going this year. One usually has to reserve a room and make travel arrangements early to be there, everything sells out early. A good number of my ham friends (many I’ve never met, hams are like that) have been asking me to attend so they can get a signed copy of the book. A few of them have helped me find a place to stay and I’m hitching a ride, so I will be there. I hope to meet many of you that have read the book, and many who plan to.

I’ll be spending most of my time at an event known as FDIM, a sort of convention within the convention. Hams that like to work with very low power radios and backpacking radios have a Four Days In May event (FDIM) each year that specifically concentrates on such radio technology. I will certainly spend some time in the main event area as well and hope to meet all that have indicated interest. Thanks again.

Second: I’m working with an organization called BookShare to make Three Hundred Zeroes available via their service. They provide, at no cost, books to blind individuals. I’ve had several blind radio amateurs contact me about making the book available and with the help of Betsey Doane, ham radio call letters: K1EIC, that should be a reality soon. Thanks Betsey.
