Dayton Hamvention Report....May 19-21, 2006 |
 Four
BAARC club members hit the road for the Dayton Hamvention in
Dayton, OH, on May 17th. They are (l-r)
Mark WØMH,
John WØJGY,
Lyle KØLFV,
and Jim
WØIRE.
They drove 860 miles to Dayton in one day. It
was a 15-hour
trip. They checked into the 3925 KHz PICO Net on May 17th while in western
Wisconsin
|
 In
Dayton, the Dayton
Hamvention flea market had a thousand vehicles full of used ham
gear. It is the 54th year for the event. |
 More
great gear for sale. Brian
KØEOU,
Past President of the BAARC, also attended the Hamvention. |
 It
seems that radio/antenna hats were the rage with dozens of different
types being shown off by some of the 25,000 hams who attended from
around the world. The Dayton Amateur Radio Association runs the
event with 300 volunteers. It results in a 10 million Dollar boost
to the Dayton economy. |
 Hara
Arena was the gathering spot where hundreds of commercial vendors showed
their wares. |
| A more complete story will be presented to at a club meeting on a future date. |
