Buildathon #4 & Lobstercon2024
|
I have not been able to determine if a video for Buildathon #4 at Lobstercon2024 was ever posted or streamed.
?
I know that Rex was going to attempt to do it via cellphone connection, and I am wondering if that worked.
?
I have not found it on Rex's Youtube channel, but maybe it was hosted somewhere else. If so, is there a link to that stream or video?
?
My Cento x-1er-O showed up on Mon 22 Jul, so I still need to build it and the LPF kit.
?
I hope everyone had fun at Lobstercon this year, and hope that our schedule will allow my wife and I to attend it next year!

Stephen was supposed to be at Lobstercon and was going to help organize the Buildathon? and get it online but at the last minute he tested positive for Covid, again, and couldn't attend. There are a lot of hams and QRPers who fit the very susceptible category so we thought it best for Stephen to stay home... i attempted to link up with him via Skype and he could have broadcast it out over my YouTube broadcast channel but I couldn't get a data connection worth the attempt. So we passed of the Buildathon and I moved on to getting set up to cook 125 lobsters!! All in all, Lobstercon came off pretty good despite all the
problems I had last week. The Friday night SmokeFest was a hit and
everyone waddled off their campsite afterwards completely full.
Although my Rexo55 BBQ grill was out of commission, we managed to
again fill everyone up again for lunch on Saturday. The mini-QRP
Swap Session was very thin this year so it was a perfect time to
try to do a Live Stream from the field but we just could not get
any data out of the campground. My plan B was to try to use the
area over by the log cabin snack building to hold the Buildathon
as there is WIFI over there but there was a corporate employee
party using that area so my grand idea had to be scrapped. I did drop a bombshell to the Lobstercon campers after the lobster dinner was over. I announced that the Lobstercon party hosted by ME was finally coming to an end after 25 years! I pulled the plug on MY hosting it and challenged the Lobstercon family to come up with a plan to allow it to continue. So several plans are afoot to hold Lobstercon2025! in the same place at roughly the same time next year but hosted by a contingent of Lobstercon regulars... We shall see... As for the Live Stream Buildathon #4, I still have form cleaning and storing to do of my rather large collection of cookers, stoves, pots etc, and Stephen has to get over Covid so when we get together to do the Buildathon, he won't give Covid to me...again! I'll keep the Buildathon crowd informed by direct emails. Rex? W!REX On 7/23/2024 8:59 AM, Tom, N8TPN wrote:
