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!!
