Description:
We get invited to attend Antennapalooza - an amateur radio event that takes place in the field behind the Alian Electronics manufacturing facility in Drouin. The event features some tech talks and takes place in a field where you can set up some antennas and get on the air. Many just drive in for the day, but if you want to stay the whole weekend you can camp there.
