Doing amateur radio is a positive step for a retro computer event. If they added some packet & other digital modes using retro computers would add to the fun.

Notacon/Blockparty is not really a retro computer event.  It only becomes retro when others like me and Jeri Ellsworth talk about/bring retro stuff.

And its only 'retro' when you weren't old enough or even born at the time the gear was made.  If you
are using gear that you've always used I don't see how it could be called retro.  Its like calling someone
with a 3 year old car a 'retro driver'.  ;-)

ham radio gear and computer stuff still must be over the age of 3 to be retro to anyone! Hint: a single core P4 system is NOT retro.
