[Repeater-Builder] Dayton 2010
Well, the dust is finally settling, and I am beginning to recover from another fun-filled weekend at Dayton. No, I didn't spend a whole lot of money, but I did find some items that were absolute must haves for the shack. I just wanted to say it was great to finally put an eyeball on some of the people with whom I've been communicating with via the lists for several years now, and reacquainting myself with those whom I've met in the past. I also made some wonderful new friends - some who thing I am the go to guy for their projects. I hope I can live up to their expectations. Thanks all. Here's to a great year at Dayton, and I'm looking forward already to next year! 73, Mark - N9WYS
[Repeater-Builder] Dayton to Evansville, IN
Leaving for Dayton tomorrow morning (weather forecast has improved a bit, looks like both Saturday and Sunday will be decent). After Dayton I'm headed to Evansville, IN. Any repeater-builders out there with machines between Dayton and Evansville (via Cincinnati and Louisville - I-75, I-71, I-64)? Got a new truck in March and still haven't had time to put the stack in, so will just have 2m and 440 this trip. --- Jeff WN3A

As far as repeaters go, my area favorite is the WB8VSU 442.300 (+) 123.0 Miamisburg system. Has IRLP (node 4235) I've been told it now makes it down to Cincinnati. Bob NO6B

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Dayton 2008 Chuckle (Tac-Tec - humor)
A lot of people made me feel bad when I told them I wanted $300.00 for my 75 watt Mastr II repeater station (not a mobile) complete with Wacom duplexer and multi-CTCSS tone panel! Heck, I could not sell a working RCA 700 desktop repeater ready to go on 444.975 for 50 bucks! I don't know what these people wanted. I think most wanted me to give them the equipment and pay them to haul it off. A foreign type guy wanted to buy a test cable for $5.00, I said no, that would be like giving it away. He then offered to buy two for 15, said no again. I did come down a lot on some things but for the most part I held firm like on the repeaters.A guy told me he bought a Micor complete with a duplexer for 100 bucks, I am sure he did. I have been given a lot of equipment like that but it does not mean I am going to give it away when I haul it that far. I would rather bring it back home and I did. The funny thing, I sold the GE Mastr II to a fellow club member here in Texas so I had to bring it back anyway! I still have a lot of GE and Motorola UHF base stations for sale, guess I will try Belton, Texas in the fall if fuel is not 10 bucks a gallon!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Dayton 2008 Chuckle (Tac-Tec - humor)
I had heard about the TAC200 that the problem was inferior quality control on the incoming parts and the failure rate on some capacitors was terrible. I had experienced that particular problem. They were similiar to the Mastr II but the board layout was reversed left to right and so on. Worked on quite a few of them in their day.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Dayton 2008 Chuckle (Tac-Tec - humor)
Hey Skip,. don't bad mouth my RCA Tac Tec (VeeTAC) repeater. It has been in service for almost 20 years now. I bought several of them for scrap by the pound, and they had been thrown out of the back of a truck. Fins broken and pretty well beat up, but they still worked. Only problem I had with it was when the wood ants got into it and glued the chassis to the wood shelf I had it on. They also covered over all the lands on the boards that had voltage on them. They finally caused some strange noises on the repeater and I was surprised that I could not pry the VeeTac off the shelf. That one went in the trash, needless to say. And a healthy (maybe unhealthy) dose of insect killer was sprayed around the wooden pole the repeater is mounted on. The cotton pickin ants finally ate the center out of the creasote pole and it blew over in a high wind - broke off at the base. Only cost our club insurance $7,000 to replace the fence and the corner of the telephone building it took out. Also took out the power, and their backup generator did not work, so we got taxed for the emergency service call to restore power. The ants can be as bad as the mice on another thread - HI. 73 - Jim W5ZIT skipp025 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dayton 2008 Chuckle (Tac-Tec - humor) Just another Dayton 2008 bit of seller humor.

Dayton Hamvention Shipping (the easy way...) I've found the easy way to deal with sending things back from Dayton. Take shipping tape, pre-made address labels and related items with you.

I do it every time... works great. Later in the week when I'm back to ground zero nice boxes of boat anchor stuff and toys arrive without fail. cheers, s.

[Repeater-Builder] Dayton Tickets and Fleamarket
Good Evening to the list: I was wondering if anyone got their Dayton fleamarket passes and tickets as yet? I order our club's usual order in February. I still haven't gotten a response from DARA as of yet. I sent two emails and made two phone calls. Never got a response. Two years ago it was so messed up that I had to pick up my order on Thursday afternoon at the fleamarket trailer, and run around like crazy to distribute our ticket order. Last year I couldn't go to Dayton and I was out of the country on family business from 3-19 May. I had to do some fast and fancy negotiation to get our 500 dollar order re-routed to another club member otherwise it would have sat in USPS mail will-call until I returned! Needless to say, I am a little edgy this year. It doesn't help that I get no responses to my emails and calls. I appreciate any responses to my query. 73--Wally W9BEA
RE: [Repeater-Builder] Dayton Tickets and Fleamarket
No response from phone calls or emails have been very noticeable by everyone that has tried to contact the committees. If you did contact them they would say they would get someone to call back, never happened. I called several times and no answer and a guy that is going with us took over ordering the spaces. As of a email yesterday they said anything ordered before April 1st went out in the mail yesterday so look for it shortly. Like I said yesterday I think, 4 years ago I called on the phone, 10 minutes later I had my spaces assigned and was set for the show. This year is very different. With the price we have to pay for the spaces it looks like there should be at least some semblance of customer service. I hope they learn from this year and do a better job of this next year. With the price of spaces and Diesel fuel it is going to be hard enough to make it this year, with the fuel price increases they want the rest of this year and next this year may be my last for Dayton.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Dayton Brauts and visual cues
... they seem to most often be semi upwind from Kevin/Ken's area. Since the topic came up, Repeater-Builder, as a company, will NOT be making an official showing at this year's Hamvention. Kevin is working full-time at his job, and a Dayton booth is a lot for my wife and I to handle with a 4 year old and a 18 month old. (children, not radios) While it is definitely nice to see all the guys and chew the fat, the last time we made the Dayton adventure we lot our shirt. 'Till you figure that the two weeks leading up to the show are spent preparing, and the 2 weeks after are spent recovering; you have lost a month's worth of bench / family time. This does not include the $70 per space cost or the absorbent hotel rates for the weekend. *IF* the weather is good, you *MAY* just enjoy yourself. too many variables for me. My wife and I do plan on attending the show as spectators. Since my wife is from the Indianapolis area, we simply drive to my in-laws place on Thursday and hand off the kids. We wake up on Friday morning, leisurely drive the 1 1/2hrs. to Dayton, and enjoy the show. The grandparents have a great time playing with the kids, and everyone is happy!! It's hard to say exactly where you might find us at the show, but for those who would like to have an eyeball, e-mail me and I can provide my cell number or a frequency we may be monitoring and we can make arrangements to meet that way. I hope to run into some list members at the show. I'll have my RB hat on!!

[Repeater-Builder] Dayton whale tales 101
Re: Dayton whale tales 101 I've noticed a guy selling surplus commercial radio gear at Dayton pretty much every year I've attended. A few years back the mentioned surplus Dealer had a large surplus Motorola MSR-2000 Repeater for sale out front of his flea market area. I was side-tracked and never made it back to try and make a deal for that box. I missed buying the repeater the first year I noticed it. Whoa..! the following year the same guy in the same place had much the same gear for sale. He didn't want to budge much on what I thought was a pretty high asking price. I figured I'd come back on Sunday and to try and make a better deal. He closed up his booth and left before I was able to return from my Hamvention Duties. :-( Year #3, he's still in the same location and guess what..? That surplus MSR-2000 repeater is still out front at the same high price. By that time I've been able to find other surplus MSR-2000 gear so I'm no longer a serious buyer for retail prices. I missed year #4 (last year) but I'm looking forward to visiting with my old friend to see if he's now willing to make a deal in year #5. cheers, s. ps: Just think of how much gas that guy has spent moving that box 2 States over to Dayton each year. Not to mention the other 3 surplus micor repeaters around it...
Re: [Repeater-Builder] Dayton whale tales 101
I've been doing hamfest for over 35 years now and there seems to be a small group of hams out there that enjoy showing off their valuble stuff at these events. (Value is in the eye of the beholder).

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Dayton whale tales 101
Joe, Same thing happened to me with some Johnson 559 mobile radios, that's all I use on my Ham UHF repeaters. I went in one day and found a stack of five radios and base. Looked to have been there a long time! I went up and made an offer of what I had been getting them for at Hamfests and he really got mad. He yelled at me and said, I paid over 800 Bucks each for those radios 20 years ago and you want to come in and steal them? I said, never mind and walked out. About two years ago the guy passed away and the radios were still there, from what I understand everything went in a dumpster.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Dayton whale tales 101
Skipp, I see some dealers at Hamfest with high prices. The ones I know go mainly to meet other dealers and people with commercial gear. They are not really there to sell things except at commercial pricing. They are real wheelers and dealers. MSR2000s, VHF UHF, are popping up all over for $300-400. There were a number at the Orlando Hamfest last Feb. Very good radio and worth this price. I think it is the best going for a Ham repeater. Like the Micor use to be and really still is. MSF5000 would be the next upgrade choice. 73, ron, n9ee/r From: skipp025 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2008/04/19 Sat PM 01:34:05 CDT To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Dayton whale tales 101 Re: Dayton whale tales 101 I've noticed a guy selling surplus commercial radio gear at Dayton pretty much every year I've attended.

[Repeater-Builder] Dayton and Parts you might need....
Hello All, I will be traveling to Dayton with an enclosed trailer full of parts and pieces. I have a couple Mastr II UHF 100 watt base stations, some Micor VHF and UHF stations (unknown power), Motorola Service manuals, 6 foot GE Mastr II and Quintron cabinets (cheap) GE (grey) voting cages, Motorola Test bench metering panels with all sorts of test cables, some Motorola NOS parts, Mot boards, and way to many other parts and pieces to mention here. LOT's of STUFF, just ask. Send me an email with what you need and I will check to see if I have it. On the cabinets, I have several these that I can take but they take a lot of room in the trailer. I will only take them to Dayton if someone expresses an interest in them and is willing to make a good will down payment mailed to me on the cabinets at least two weeks before I leave for Dayton. They are just to big and take up too much room in the trailer only to bring them back. Once I have them at Dayton and the deal is complete and the cabinet changing hands I will refund 1/2 of the good will payment of $50.00. That means the cabinet would only be 25 bucks. Pretty good price if you ask me. Only the large items like cabinets require pre-payment. Paul No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG.

Maybe a little off topic, but since we always seem to meet up with a bunch of other repeater-builder denizens every year at Dayton, maybe not...

Seems to me that I usually received that whole package in December of January in years' past, but nothing so far this year. --- Jeff WN3A
RE: [Repeater-Builder] Dayton?
Jeff, From what I have seen so far they are very slow and seem unorganized this year. About three years ago I called and it was all set up, this year I called several times with no answer on the phone. Got a call finally from one of the chairmen saying he would have the Flea guy call that weekend, no call so far and that been at least three weeks. We finally reserved the spaces on-line about two weeks ago, got a automated response but nothing since. I know they are volunteers but it's not being handled very well this year, at least that's my impression.

I went on their web site last week and the tickets section wasn't even up yet - you couldn't order anything, nor did it say anything about a February 15 deadline! I went on today and now see I can order tickets, but it's obviously past the Feb 15 cut-off.
Re: [Repeater-Builder] Dayton?
Jeff, I didn't get one, but that's not really surprising since I wasn't there last year as a vendor. If I remember correctly they didn't mail packets for 2005 or 2006. I would just go to their website and register that way.

[Repeater-Builder] Dayton 2007 - Merely a spectator sport
All, Re: Repeater-Builder at Dayton 2007 Unfortunately, Repeater-Builder will not be vending our normal wares at this year's show. Kevin W3KKC has work commitments that take priority. I felt that with my 5 month old and three year old daughters, my wife and I couldn't provide the 1 on 1 attention that a show like Dayton demands. I apologize to anyone that was looking forward to stopping by and saying HI in person. My wife Elisha and I will be attending the show. We will both be there on Friday. I *may* decide to make the return trip on Saturday to see what the crowd looks like. I am planning to have an HT with me on 146.625 simplex. If anyone would like to talk to me, give a call and we can get together. As always, we are still building and taking orders for repeaters: www.repeater-builder.com/custombuilt We have Tram antennas for sale as well as the other custom Repeater-Builder products: www.repeater-builder.com/products At this point we are planning to attend next year's show with our typical 4 spots in the outside fleamarket area. By next year, the kids will be older and hopefully more easily contained by chicken wire and electric fence. HIHI I wish everyone safe travels and a great show!!!

Well, I finally have a couple of minutes to say it was good to meet up with Kevin, Ken, and Robin, K4IDC. I missed a lot of people though, and couldn't get to the RB dinner. I was specifically trying to meet up with Skipp, Dave K (was gonna pick up 2.04f for someone), and Andy Seybold, but, well, you know how it can be down there...hopefully next year Did get to play around on 900 Mhz, amazing how much better 900 covers inside (playing AEGIS was cool too). But it was also amazing how well the RB rptr worked a ways off grounds. With our mobile rig, 15W and an on-glass MFJ, I first brought it up, noisy, near WPAFB on I-70...DFQ at our hotel in Englewood...what does that say? -- Jim Barbour WD8CHL Yahoo!

A number of you have been emailing me off the list about your Dayton Hamvention Space(s) Tickets. I emailed my friend behind the scenes about people reporting their tickets not yet received. He replied with the following information. Please don't email me past this point. I really want to drop out of the loop, but I'm trying to be helpful to those of you who are worried about your Dayton trip. I of course will see you there. Onward... [paste] Any orders received after 5/2 will be held at the F/M office. That being said, there will be a drive through pickup window as in past years to speed up that process. Here is the contact info. Try 937-276-6933 to start. That number should be answered by someone who can advise status of spaces, and whether packet was mailed or held. If result is unsatisfactory or complex questions involved, 937-276-6932 will ring the Flea Market chairman's cell phone directly. Of course, we do not take this situation lightly, and everyone up to the General Chairman is very unhappy about the way things have been handled. In our 55 or so years of putting on this show, we have been proud of our efforts to communicate with our visitors, and realize that this is a major blemish on our reputation. The GC has indicated that it WILL NOT be tolerated next year. Regards, [end paste] So there you go... cheers, s. Yahoo!

Joe Regular Admin. I was told in an email from Dayton that they would start mailing out tickets on 01 April. These were postmarked 10 Apr. I know that you were asking about Vender tickets but just thought that maybe this would shed some light on the subject.

Last year, we didn't get our fleamarket tickets or entrance tickets. I called, faxed, emailed, probably ten times, and it wasn't until the Monday before the event that I got a call-back saying that they were having problems getting tickets out in time, and that I'd have to pick them up at the fest on Thursday when I got there. This year, I didn't even receive the usual sign-up package which usually came in December in previous years. I called, faxed, emailed, and never heard back. Finally I gave up and downloaded the forms from their web site, filled them out, and faxed them in. I still don't know whether or not they received it or processed it.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Dayton time line...
It never ceases to amaze me, how the dayton is moving rumor mutates and spreads around. The owner's of Hara have no intention of selling, nor the does the Hamvention organization want to leave. I bumped into some folks last Dayton (litterally) who were (are) hara folks. Hara is doing at least OK; take a look at their wenb site: they have 8 events for April taking up 14 days. Thats not bad at all for such a place. The best way to make Dayton continue is to get new folks down there. My wife and I have been averaging one person per year for the last several years now, with two getting their licenses there. We did some volunteer stuff last year, and I think it was obvious, the commitment they had to improving the show. We plan on doing that again this year. --STeve Andre' wb8wsf en82 On Monday 27 March 2006 11:52, skipp025 wrote: Last year or the year before I heard that the Hamvention has a 5 year deal already signed... so no one is going anywhere for 3 or 4 more years... skipp Wonder what's up with that!
