Ardmore Ok is the intersection of a Y between Oklahoma City, and Tulsa at the top and Dallas at the bottom. Nice rainy weekend, Drove down from Mulvane Friday. Booked a Day's Inn -King bed for $33 a night--? Free Breakfast & HBO too.. Sunday stopped at Eskimo Joe's in Stillwater on the way home.
Excellent hamfest at the EXPO-Convention Center. I'd say 150 tables and 1500+ attendees.
While I was there I met Jason KC5HWB of YOU TUBE's "Ham Radio 2.0" ? He lives near Dallas.. Real nice guy..If you want to know the latest in Ham Radio watch his 200+ shows on his YOUTUBE CHANNEL
