[AMRadio] Early Dayton Hamvention Report
Just arrived home (Sidman, PA) this evening Saturday) late. Weather was terrific on Friday and Saturday; however, Saturday was simply beautiful. Best weather that I can remember in the last 12 years. My face is like the color of a beet! You could not have asked for better weather. On Friday, there were lots of empty outdoor vendor spots but Saturday many spots became filled. The bottom row next to the fence had wide open spaces. Attendance was noticeably down on Friday but picked up on Saturday. I thought that attendance was about the same as last year. No pushing and shoving inside the Arena on Saturday. Had no problem moving about. Noticed that ARRL did the full court press with a large delegation of ARRL officials occupying a large portion of one of the halls. What was that all about? Our Collins Forum that the CRA sponsors was very well attended. Thanks to all who attended and to Jim Stitzinger who was one of the presenters. Room 5 was not a room but an open area inside the Arena floor - open at the end. Somewhat distractful but manageable. I believe that we had over 70 attendees. On Friday, I traversed the fleamarket and saw very little Collins equipment. A gentleman who stopped by my vendor spots told me that he sold two KWS-1s. He admitted that he undersold one for $900. Saw a Hallicrafter HT-20 in which the owner wanted $1,300. Did not sell by late Saturday afternoon. Much of the older equipment looked rather warn and needing extensive restoration. Saw a Globe King 400 with an extra meter and in poor condition - asking price over $600. Glad to be home. The two days went by so quickly as ususal.

Re: [AMRadio] Live Video/Audio feed from Dayton
Brian- Thanks very much for posting the video feed from Dayton this year! I unfortunately could not make it this year. I have been attending most years for 21 now. My old radio club members from New Jersey and I usually stay at the Holiday Inn in Englewood, Ohio. They make reservations a year in advance for the club. However, I have already made plans for attending my first NRCDXAS Covention in Akron, Ohio Labor Day Weekend. My primary "buds" are AM broadcasters and attend each year. So all is not lost. Hope all is well with you and yours. Keep up the great work on all the groups!
