I stayed once at the official hotel and once at a different one. You
won't miss anything official by staying in a different hotel. At the
official one you'll have more opportunity for mingling outside the
event. There was some shop talk at the hotel bar and it was
interesting. At the very least, the strangers at the bar will all have
something in common with you, so it's less awkward than strangers at
most other bars :)
Morning everyone,
I just subscribed to the group after reading through the archives and
finding it informative. I learned about the group because we are
planning to attend the animal farm this year in salt lake city. Basic
background on myself. I live In the UP of Michigan on the far western
edge. Wife and two kids and my wife and I recently bought out my
father�s half of our wisp. The network is almost completely 900mhz
moto and now that we are full owners I have the opportunity to move it
more quickly to more modern technology. Right now that appears for us
to be PMP450 in 3.65 and possibly some ePMP1000 for line of site
customers. This is my main reason for attending animal farm is to
learn from others about these platforms and what they have
experienced. We cover a large very rural area, lots of trees lots of
longer links in the 7 mile range and lots of snow this time of year.
I do have a question on salt lake city for the group. We are planning
to fly in and trying to avoid renting a car. I see they have a train
system that runs from the airport to the fairgrounds and into
downtown. Right now we are looking at skipping staying at the Ramada
and instead staying more in the downtown so we have walking access to
food and so on. Right now we are looking at the Hyatt but would really
consider anything else as well. So what I am wondering is are we going
to miss out on things by not staying at the Ramada and how easy is the
train system for getting in and out of downtown and out to the animal
farm event?
I look forward to learning a lot and hopefully at times being able to
contribute to the group. I wish I was aware of it sooner.
Best Regards,
Brandon Yuchasz
