I watched a few track presentations as well as all the sponsor events. Elecraft’s were excellent. I found most of the other companies presentations to be much lower in quality. One demonstration of a product was 30 minutes of interface on a touchscreen that was unreadable and unfocused in the presentation.
The overall virtual conference interface was unnecessarily over-animated and thus slow over cell phone data streaming (I was camping at the time). The track videos I watched were better produced by the individual presenters than most companies, and most had good technical advice to pique my interest. Thanks to Elecraft for the opportunity to interface during the KX2 “X-Ray.” I am hearing impaired and was sincerely impressed that this company was willing to look at the possibility of incorporating Bluetooth hearing aid connectivity to their radios as a future opportunity for SSB. The time-delay inherent in Bluetooth for use with CW was something I never considered and I appreciated the tech details provided. Regarding the contest I will make no public statement regarding my communications with the convention’s organizers. There was, eventually, a public posted comment that only ONE gamer was identified and removed. During the first few days of the post “live” session I intentionally acquired enough points, playing the “game,” to be at least 3rd on the board for that day, but never showed up. So much for that. Maybe Elecraft should simply host their own virtual event. The only incentive I need is to be a better Ham, both technically and operationally.
