    Although the last and shortest day of Dayton Hamvention is usually the least crowded, the ARRL Expo had early visitors making their rounds, particularly for books.

    This Sunday was the first time Hamvention offered free admission for Sunday in hopes of drawing those from the area who may not be dedicated hams, but have some interest in what goes on at the annual convention.
    By all accounts, this year had brisk attendance - some of the highest since the convention's relocation to the Greene County Fairgrounds in Xenia, Ohio.

    That's awesome! I've only been to a few hamventions. Twice to Bartlett
    in Memphis, TN and once to Huntsville. Enjoyed all of them, but don't
    think I'll ever get to Xenia (sp?).




    ... Oh, I almost forgot . . . It's absolutley VITAL to insta

    There are many hamfests, but only one Dayton Hamvention. You should make the trip some year - it's a huge production and a lot of fun.

    Maybe one year... Right now my 'dream' is to get to go back to Gencon
    with my son, and I'd love to hit Acadacon in Ohio sometime...
