I stopped by the Arrow Antennas space at Hamvention 2023 and talked with Tim Chapman KB7MDF about their VHF/UHF portable antenna called the 52-1BP. This is a 6m dipole antenna for Summits on the Air with optional element sets for other bands.

The CRP Amateur Radio Club International hosts an annual event in May in conjunction with Hamvention. On Friday evening of FDIM they host a night where home brew ham radios and accessories are entered into a contest for judging. There are also some who just bring their projects to show everybody, but they do not enter the contest. Here is a short clip of FDIM Homebrew Contest and Show and Tell night.
