Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Hats at Dayton

[Jim Lowman]

Well, I did get a free pen at the Drake presentation on Saturday.  They 
were giving them to the first 100 attendees, to promote the Drake net.


As usual, I didn't win anything, either at the FDIM banquet or the 
Hamvention.  My record of 0-for-every-convention remains intact.


I suppose we should give this topic a rest.

[Phil Hystad]

Actually, both the Ken Kesey reference and the Jim Jones People's Temple 
reference are valid sources for the phrase "I drank the Kool Aide", or 
"...drinking the Kool Aide".  Real truth can be found only through Google!  I 
drank the Google Kool Aide.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Hats at Dayton?

[Eric Swartz WA6HHQ - Elecraft]

Folks - Time to close this thread.

This topic has been beaten to death and is drifting afield.. Let's let it to 
rest. :-)

I'm ready to get a good night's sleep once we get home tonight (after 12 
midnight PDT, 3 AM EDT.. ) and traveling for over 13 hrs after a long 3 days.

It was great seeing everyone this weekend!

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Hats at Dayton?

[Fred Jensen]

OK, it's 1945PDT Sun night out here on the western frontier, that would 
be 2145CDT in Dayton, and Dayton is over.  Possibly the "Hat Traffic" on 
the list, with or without elevated or buried radials, will subside?  It 
was fun for awhile, a little old now.


I have been to Dayton at Hamvention-time many times.  In the hotel 
elevators, packed in with a bunch of guys with multiple HT's on their 
belts ... they went to Hamvention, I went to work at WPAFB.  One of 
these days ... hat or no hat.


Actually, how did "Dayton" become the ham radio destination for the 
world in May?  I know, the W Bros and bikes and all, but NC claims 
"First in Flight," with some justification.  It's a real question, off 
list would be fine, one of my subsidiary hobbies is historical trivia.

Agreed. I enjoy helping out at the Elecraft booth at every New England ARRL

Evangelizing customers is a very important part of the Elecraft business and
advertising model.
It works. A small company like Elecraft relies upon (and needs) enthusiastic
customers to help "spread the word". It's the best advertising money can't
buy.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Hats at Dayton

[Scott W2NTV]

it has been a few years since I went to Dayton..money to tight at this 
time... I remember the days when companies, very much like Elecraft, 
Icom, Kenwood, and Yaesu would give T-Shirts, Hats, mouse pads, and the 
ever annoying button away... and if you DIDN'T take the free stuff , the 
young girl (probably a model trying to pay rent) would cop an attitude 
towards you...). one time I got  4 hats, 3 t-shirts and a very cool pen 
that produced a light show from Tokyo Hi Power Amplifier...
Well, sadly I guess the "good ol' days" are done at the "big ham 
fests"...  HONEY GRAB THE KIDS.. WE NEED TO GO CLOTHES SHOPPING..

I bought a $3500.00 hat at Dayton and they gave me a free K-3 ;-)


I also had it embroidered with my call.

I'm looking forward to receiving my free K-3!

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Hats at Dayton?

[NZ9E]

We will have the hats on the web order form by Wed of this week. (After we
recover from Dayton - Whew!)

Eric

_..._


To Eric and all the Elecrafters at Dayton this weekend:

THANK YOU!!!  And may you recover quickly.

I literally can't tell you how extremely useful Dayton was to me this year,
because of the employees of Elecraft and related companies.  And I thought
last year at Dayton was good!

Thanks for putting up with all of us.  I know the sheer numbers can be
daunting; someone compared the tsunami of hamsters descending upon the
Elecraft booth at 9:01 am to the Capital One Vikings commercial.

I really like Elecraft's designs, and their commitment to get it right. 
Where else would you find a for-profit company with customers volunteering
to help at the booth?

73,
Bob NZ9E

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Hats at Dayton?

[Goldtr8 (KD8NNU)]

I did purchase a hat at Dayton yesterday.

Maybe we can convince Elecraft to work with one of those suppliers who do 
hats and allow us order direct and then we could get our Call Sign added at 
the time of purchase.


I know this can be done.  Then Elecraft does not have to bother directly 
with the hat guys.


If you take it to the full extreme we could maybe have hats and shirts and 
look cool at field days, club events and ham shows.  Not sure about tattoos 
:-)


Elecraft would have to do something to make this happen as they are the 
owners of the trademark.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Hats at Dayton?

Fred,

Well stated mate. Likewise here in VK. I have a T-Shirt done in the US (two
of them) but sadly no cap.

I still got the silly black Yaesu cap but it doesn't seem right to me to
wear it...:-)

73 to all without an Elecraft Hat, or suit or necktie or ...:-)

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Hats at Dayton?

[Fred Smith]

Didn't know I was "Bugging Him" as such wasn't looking for free anything
just wanted to buy a "Real Elecraft Hat" instead of the one's we have from
EU. My friends and I wear ours whenever we go out to any radio related
events, just proud to wear them and per mote the Elecraft line.

 We are still surprised at how many hams ask what Elecraft is when they see
our hats, we all are more than happy to tell them all about the great Radios
from them! What a great topic to talk about and meet other hams at the same
time and I will tell you we have had many of them but Elecraft radios
afterwards. Many times they end up in one of our homes to have a go at
different rigs and misc pieces, between all us we have one of everything
Elecraft has ever made.

What else can I say just proud of their company and happy to tell others
about them.

I can't believe u guys are bugging Wayne for hats. Do u have any clue what
is involved in preparing and managing a trade show? Give it a rest and wait
until he gets back to the office.

Note to Wayne:
Extending your brand through promotional items makes good sense financially
and from a marketing point of view. You should consider having a page on
your site for hats, shirts, mugs etc.
