International DX Convention, Visalia CA, 2008


Here is a preview from Friday morning at the 2008 International DX Convention in Visalia. The most dominating feature to be sure is SteppIr's new "Dream Beam" that can be seen in the May issue of QST (pp 124). US Tower is here with not only their large 89' tower trailer, but also a truck mounted 4-section 33' HD tower and a mobile command center. The mobile command center, complete with its own pnematic mast, will hold the K6V special event station.

The K6V station has a new Elecraft K3, an Alpha 9500 amplifier and power meter, and a Heil PR-40 microphone.

In the mobile and portable department is the Scorpion Antenna and boy is it beautiful! W6MMA is here too with a new 3-element yagi from Super Antennas.

AND THAT'S JUST IN THE PARKING LOT! The vendor room doesn't open until this evening! Stay tuned for more interesting products you'll only see FIRST, at the International DX Convention in Visalia, CA!
