Ozarkcon 2010

Last weekend my wife Teri K9TLM and I went to Branson, MO to attend our first ever Ozarkcon put on by the 4 State QRP Group. It was fantastic as was the weather.

















Saturday included several informative seminars. In this photo Dave Gauding NF0R describes a small loop he built from a bicycle rim.


















Ozarkcon also featured several opportunities for kit building. Here, Paul N9PCS works on a keyer.



















Creativity was unbounded. This building entry in the "Whacky Key" category featured a key carved from a potato and a carrot. Vegatarian CW anyone?


















Of course there was serious work at Ozarkcon too. Here, Dave NM0S plays along with the nightly Bluegrass concert. Musicians came from Ozarkcon attendees as well as locals who just dropped in to jam.

All in all this is a laid back, highly recommended event. Schedules permitting I plan to go back in 2011. Hope to see you there!

Hello Tim, this was the second one for my wife Fran,N0JKK and myself, John,K0QH . The trip from Ste. Genevieve,MO is quick and easy. Already looking forward to next year. While the wife is not very active she enjoys Ozarkcon as much as I do. The pictures are great, wish that the 4SQRP website had an area for the photos or did I overlook it?
Tnx for posting yours.
