Photos from the 2025 Cincinnati Hamfest https://wereboar.com/projects/index.php/2025/08/13/photos-from-the-2025-cincinnati-hamfest/ This was the first time I attended the Cincinnati #hamfest. It was a fairly small show with a single (long) aisle of vendors and some more in a building. Still, there was plenty to see and I took home some small items.

Photos from the 2025 Columbus Hamfest https://wereboar.com/projects/index.php/2025/08/04/photos-from-the-2025-columbus-hamfest/ The #hamfest in Columbus, Ohio is always a surprisingly good one. Other than the few years that it threatened rain, it’s always presented a very good selection of things to see, and a lot of vendors. This year was no different. Prices at this show were what I would consider more reasonable, so it was easy to spend a few bucks. Check out what I saw on my project page.

I'm going to start with the filter section, since that's the main workhorse portion of the device. Check that out on my project page.
