George, Brittany, and Jeremy just returned from Hamvention 2019 in Xenia, OH. We had a record year this year - there was no shortage of folks who stopped by to say hello and to pick up our build projects! In fact, we were so busy that we didn’t get our usual level of coverage this year. A big THANK YOU to everyone who stopped by to say hello and support us. A special big thanks to the guy who bought my go box!
We interview Eric from Elecraft on the new K4 Direct Sampling SDR HF Transceiver, Mike from Flex Radio on the new multiFlex feature, and Kaitlyn from Digilent on the new Analog Discovery Studio. We also include Hans Summer’s presentation from FDIM.

George takes us on a tour of the new Benchduino rapid prototyping platform. This platform gives you access to common peripherals such as controls, displays, and even a breakout directly in to the Analog Discover 2! It is compatible with a wide array of processing boards such as the Adafruit Feathers and the Raspberry Pi Zero. We also talk about Hamvention 2019 - we will be there again in booth 3104 - stop by and say hello!

One final piece of content from the 2018 Hamvention. Every year, the QRP Amateur Radio Club International hosts a QRP conference called Four Days in May that proceeds Hamvention. The event is home to a large collection of amateurs passionate about low power operation and building their own radios. George attended the event on Thursday and was able to capture talks by Hans Summers G0UPL of QRP-Labs fame and Dr. Jack Purdum W8TEE, famous in the BITX40 community. Hans talks about the development of his smash hit new transceiver kit, the QCX and Jack talks to us about homebrewing. Special thanks to QRP ARCI President Preston Douglas WJ2V for allowing us to record these great talks.

This week George KJ6VU and Jeremy KF7IJZ are together in Xenia, OH for the 2018 Hamvention. This episode celebrates the two year anniversary of the Workbench concept, and we are joined by our extended family for the occasion - Mark “Smitty Halibut” Smith KR6ZY, Kenneth Finnegan W6KWF, Gerald “Powerpole the World” Wilson KF5JNU, and Brittany Mrs. IJZ sit in for this roundtable. We discuss Hamvention impressions, spending other people’s money, and (of course) DMR this week on the Ham Radio Workbench.
Smitty KR6ZY joins as co-host this week as George is on vacation. Smitty will be making a road trip to Xenia, OH to attend the 2018 Hamvention for the first time. We talk about the preparations he’s undergoing to maximize his mobile Ham Radio experience as he drives cross country. He talks to us about operating and charging a Bioenno Battery from his car as well as a speaker level audio mixer he’s designing to mix the audio of all of his radios. Finally, we talk about Hamvention in general - including what to expect and what to look forward to. We look forward to seeing all of you at Hamvention in booth 3104 this year!
