The JAIA Ham Fair 2003 was held at Tokyo Big Sight (sic) again this year. The two day event shrank to only a single hall. The club booths (and flea market area) seemed as active and packed as ever, but the commercial exhibits were smaller.

The new Kenwood HF/50 MHz transceiver looks great for operation where space is limited. Its detachable front panel and PC control features look great. There were also a number of new antenna releases, from small 2.4GHz mobile antennas to giant towers.

After an absence of several years, Luso is back in a big way. They are offering giant motorized crank-up towers, like the Luso 28NS of which only a tiny portion is shown here. This thing is so massive that you had to wonder how they got it into the exhibit hall, and how they got it erected once it was inside. It makes the standard amateur towers in the next aisle look tiny by comparison.
