Techfest 2008 was held January 12th. It was a chili day to start out. The temperature rose to the mid fifties. We had twice the tailgaters this year with 12 showing up. This was the second year for tailgaters. We had 16 different groups giving demonstrations and or handing out information about their club or ARRL. We also had an active youth lounge, where the kids had fun and contest to find out as much as they could from each table. The following were demonstrated with live operation of the equipment. PSK 31, MT63, DSTAR, Winlink, Linux os and radio programs, QRP, Asterisk, 6 meter SSB, CW keys and history, O-scopes, Crew 73 Venture crew, Red Cross Truck, ARES mobile command facility,ARRL Section Manager Table The food was great again this year. There were 5 chili bowls and N4COR, Randy won the first place for best tasting. Hamburgers and hotdogs were the main course. We went through 80 hotdogs and 100 hamburgers and 3 bags of potato chips. The Southeastern DX club gave 2 forums this year, DX-101 and DX-102. Both forums had standing room only. The Gwinnett Amateur Radio Society presented the 11th annual Techfest.
