\"Demonstrating<\/a>
Demonstrating Ham Radio<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

May 7-8 was a huge Scout Jamborall held in Blackfoot at the Idaho State Fair Grounds. The local amateur radio club set up a booth at the event to show the scouts what ham radio can do. They needed volunteers to help man the booth, so I went up on Saturday morning and stayed until early afternoon. I had a lot of fun with the scouts and the other folks from the club.<\/p>\n

On the way home my phone rang. It was Nina. She’d been in Idaho Falls doing some not-so-successful clothes shopping. I answered the phone.<\/p>\n

“You’re speeding!” she said.<\/p>\n

“Huh? According to the GPS I’m going 77 mph,” I replied.<\/p>\n

“You just went flying past me on the freeway and you’ve got to be going faster than 77. I’m going 75 and you blew right past me.”<\/p>\n

Well, the Avalon’s speedometer isn’t all that accurate. It reads faster than you’re actually going. Even though it says 75, she was probably going about 71 or 72. Still, I don’t think I “flew” past her! Interesting coincidence that we met up like that.<\/p>\n
