With the beginning of another year, I will be traveling throughout the country to various ham radio and computer shows.  This is my opportunity to meet many of our readers, and hopefully sign up a few new ones.  I don't know if you have ever attended a hamfest or not, but you should try to take in one of there is a show in your area.  To find out for sure which shows are in your locale, you can go to the ARRL (American Radio Relay League) web site and there you will find hundreds of shows listed.
