Hamvention is about half a year away. Last year they claim "almost 25000" people attended. Since we now have something that we can actually /give/ to hams who aren't rocket scientists, the FreeDV software, I think our involvement at Hamvention should be larger than last year.

We will always have a space at the TAPR table, and we should make use of it. However, to help us reach the more general HF operator population, I've gotten us our own space in the arena. This is the prime traffic location at Hamvention and guarantees that we'll be noticed in a big way if we don't botch it.

I'd like to maximize this opportunity by having professional signage and literature, well-edited video, and I'd like to rent a really big video display that would be positioned above head level where it can be seen across the arena. This will require raising some money, but not too much.

I think it would help if we were able to sell wiring harnesses for common radios on site, so I'll be looking for a partnership to help with this.

Staffing the booth is always a problem and we'll need more folks than last year. I am also inclined to hire booth staff so that we have guaranteed minimum staffing for the entire conference. If you know anyone near Dayton who could work, please direct them to me.

    Thanks

    Bruce
