Thank you to everyone who responded to my Dayton request. My next step
in my Dayton adventure will be to "get on the list". I am a new kid on
the block with regards to satellites. For 50 years I kept thinking that
it was impossible for me to work through a satellite. One day I got up
enough nerve to try. OMG, talk about excited. My first contact through
AO-51 (R.I.P.) was better than my first novice contact in 1961 when I
was 11 years old. I have good shoes but I'm afraid I will need a
scooter due to some serious nerve issues. HA, HA, reserved that too. I
am dressed up (official AMSAT shirt and name badge too) and ready to go.

James,
Great to hear you are coming! Dayton is always a blast, and we can always
use more "booth bunnies." It is a great opportunity to put faces to calls,
and see what is going on.
There is a note in ANS about how to sign up:

I am planning to attend the Dayton Hamfest. I have my Hamfest tickets,
airline tickets, payed for the banquet, and I have sent Martha my credit
card number for a room. I will be attending all three days and would
like to volunteer in the AMSAT booth. Did I miss a signup sheet for
volunteering or has one not been started? I am excited as this is my
first time to visit Dayton.
