Well another #HeadOfTheCharles comes to an end. It started slow and ended with a bang, nothing bad, but I enjoyed it. Till next year! #hamradio #amateurradio

Photos from Lynn of storm damage from today's severe thunderstorm that might have produced a tornado out in central Massachusetts.

These photos were also featured on the WX1BOX Skywarn account over on the 🐦 site.

Had a great time at #Hamvention, the weekend went by fast though, but I am glad to be home.

Me sitting in a camping chair wearing my blue and white Boston Marathon jacket with a red polo underneath it, behind me is a typical ham fest flea market scene. My HP Elitebook laptop sitting on a white table in a hotel room while my Yaesu FT5D charges nearby. It's a rats nest of wires. Me, Carl N1FY and Jim KB1KQW pose for the camera at the ARRL booths at Hamvention. I am wearing my blue and white Boston Marathon jacket with a red polo shirt underneath. Carl is wearing a light blue button down shirt and Jim is wearing a black polo. Behind us is people milling around the booths. A scene of a sparsely populated Hamvention flea market on the last day of the event.
