0931 - Road trip
The drive from Fairmont to the con hotel in Novi (western Detroit suburb) took almost exactly 12 hours. I stopped for gas twice, in Waterloo, Iowa and Joliet, Illinois. I had a few conversations on the radio, one on HF with a guy in Lithuania and one on 2 meters with a guy who drove up next to me. I also had one guy honk a call at me, but he couldn't get his radio on the air because a passenger was sitting where it would normally go.
When I got here, a couple of guys pulled into the parking spot next to me and said they figured I was wardriving with a setup like the one I had...we talked for a while. They hadn't heard about the con, so I pointed them at the website.
It was a long drive. I got unpacked, then took a nap that lasted from 5 to 10:30 PM. After hearing that Cathy Raymond didn't need a ride from the airport, I went back to sleep for another several hours.
I'm still working on the project, but the end is definitely in sight.

Know why they call it Novi?
The No. VI train used to stop there.
Just some interesting little trivia I learned when my husband and I visted Detroit over Xmas. Course, I'm roman numeral impaired, and can't come up with VI for the life of me, but I think it's 6. |
