First Visit to Oshkosh

[HamGuy]

THis will be my first year making the treck to Oshkosh. I am a
non-pilot that is getting the bug again. What are absolute "must
see's"

Thanks

Wasn't aware of that, Richard. Where is the CGS Hawk Tent?

BTW, if HamGuy is a true ham, the common ham field frequency is 2-meter
146.52 simplex. There is a repeater if you like, but contact the special
station on 52 to get the frequency and the PL.

Aviation band on the field (listen a lot, talk a little) is 123.5. This is
NOT a chatter frequency.

Hamguy... the MUST sees are Aeroshell Square and main exhibit buildings
/ outdoor exhibits. Highly recommended are the afternoon air show,
forums. EAA Museum and vintage, warbirds or ultralight areas (depending
on your preference).
