Good crowd! It was nice to meet new folks and to swap lies. Great to see familiar faces and renew ongoing discussions. From comments heard around the room, the car tours and station visits were ‘okay.’ The tech talk sessions had lots of good pics and video and some new understandings...and the audio was a disaster. (Murphy had been sleeping in the meeting room when we checked out the A-V Friday but was wide-awake Saturday morning.)
Dinner was excellent; the post-munching remarks by Kansas City’s premier newsman Dan Verbeck were impactful and heartfelt and gave those of us jaded with radio some reasons to be more optimistic (at least about radio news). It was moving to me to see how we as a group helped our Blind friends navigate and interpret. The “D-KAZ-wiki group” from IRCA (Hall-Patch, Kazaross, Whitacre, Durenberger) erected and operated a full-blown D-KAZ antenna in the back yard (a thanks to the hotel for their tolerance of our temporary playground). We were even able to attract veteran DX-er Glenn Hauser...who was kind enough to avoid shaking his head over our layout. (Clean) audio and pics/videos from the activities will be posted shortly. Cheers!
