Preliminary numbers
indicate that the virtual ham expo sponsored by the QSO Today podcast on August
8 and 9 was a success. According to organizer Eric Guth, 4Z1UG, the day after
the event, more than 26,000 people around the world registered for the two-day
event and more than 14,000 attended each day. CQ was well-represented there
with a rotating roster of staff members, columnists, award managers and contest
directors, all chatting with visitors and answering questions. At times, there
were more than 100 visitors at our booth at one time.
