The show today at Wyong was OK.. It was a bit smaller that last year but not too much smaller. The car boot sale area is getting smaller each year I fear – which is one of the reasons to go up there – to try to grab a bargain. In the end I did not end up buying anything much apart from a CD-ROM and a couple of CD-ROM drives. Apart from that I got some food but that was it. I sold a few trackers but it was fairly quiet. This was good in a way in that it allowed me (and the others) to spend more time with each person.

We also handed out a whole lot less information sheets that previous years which was a bit dissapointing. But then again that might just mean that the market is partially penetrated. Who knows. But it is an enjoyable time up there showing people what more they can get out of the hobby. The same thing with my talk… It was more of a ‘here are the possibilities’ type of talk rather than a ‘here is how things are’.

Also at the thing was the Uni of NSW Satellite guys… Interesting catching up with them… They are still trying to get their satellite a finished as well as a launch date. With the lack of shuttle launches, and in the increase in microsatellite programs at unis they are finding it hard to get a launch. Poor things. I doubt that it will ever fly… But we will see…

Enough foe this entry. It is 9:32PM and it is definitely past my bedtime!
