Here are a few of the products that stood out at Hamvention this year.
Alexloop Walkham – I talked with a ham who was blow away with this antenna, he had it paired with an Electraft KX3. The antenna has a built in tuner that covers 7 to 30 MHz. alexloop.com
Pixie2 – A $10 QRP Transceiver! Although most of the QRP circuits today have evolved into using superhet receivers, a diversion back to direct conversion is not unusual…since QRP, after all, is a unique part of amateur radio and simplicity is certainly a part of it. The Pixie 2 is a tiny rig, with a standard two transistor transmitter. It’s a Colpitts oscillator, left running, and a keyed power amplifier. There is no external mixer used to feed the audio amplifier. Instead, the mixing is done at the final amplifier itself with the resulting audio taken off the emitter. http://www.kenneke.com
Dress up your shack with a metal print of your ticket. $25 shipped from hamcrazy.com
I heard that the Columbus hamfest was fairly small, but what it lacked in size it made up in treasure!
Here’s the list:
1 owner Yaesu FT-101E (late sn) with the factory faceplate plastic still intact. No modifications or alterations! w/ CW filter, manuals on disk, Turner 257 desk mic and original Yaesu hand mic. WOW.
Motorola Handie-Talkie FM Radiophone
3 pocket watch style volt meters
6 pilot lamps
3 misc parts bags, one full of silver 70s era knobs and linear pot caps.
leather carving tools
There was a great core memory board, unfortunately the $50 price tag was way too much!

The Yaesu FT-101E is a solid-state (except finals) transceiver covering 160 through 10 meters in USB, LSB, CW and AM modes. The analog display provides 2 kHz accuracy. An eight-pole SSB filter reduces QRM. Input power is a beefy 260 watts PEP on SSB, 180 watts on CW (50% duty cycle) and 80 watts AM (lower on 160 and 10 meters). It operates from 12 VDC 20 amps or 100-234 VAC. There is also an AUX range crystal position for any 500 kHz segment from 14.5-28 MHz.
