The first hamfest that Haocheng, Carol Ann, and I attended since the Dayton Hamvention.  This hamfest is held annually at Jim Miller Park in Marietta, GA.  This hamfest is hosted by the Kennehoochee Amateur Radio Club and and The Atlanta Radio Club.

I bought an older Onkyo Home AV receiver and a long 900MHz Yagi antenna.

CCrane Radios for sale.  (Note that these are pronounced "C Crane", not "CC Crane".  Lots of people read a C that isn't there.

I used the quad copter for some aerial photos.  Admittedly these photos were shot in the afternoon as the hamfest was winding down, so it does not show the hamfest at its peak.

Weeee!  This park has several structures that look like temporary carnival rides, but these structures have been here for a long time.
