[Repeater-Builder] Dayton Hamvention Shipping (the easy way...)

[skipp025]

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. 

Box up whatever you want to send back... drive to the nearby 
Airport Fed Ex Office and send everything back to yourself 
Fed-Ex Ground. Use your own account if you have one. 

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.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Dayton Hamvention space - ticket Information

[Tony Alviar \(Home\)]

Uniontown Amateur Radio Club (W3PIE) received ours friday last week.  It's a 
shame that an order placed in mid February took until last week to get 
confirmation that our stuff had been received by Dayton Flea Market 
Committee. . . . .

[Repeater-Builder] Dayton Hamvention space - ticket Information

[skipp025]

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.

I would agree with that, although there would need to be something in 
place to verify it's a real club and not just something someone made up. 
Sorta like many of the 'clubs' that show up next to a repeater entry in 
the ARRL directory.

At a minimum, there should be an exception for clubs.  One club I belong to 
recently cleaned out its shack & sold the excess at the local swap 
meet.  It took at least 3 spaces.

Given the growing number of unsold spaces at Dayton, it seems unwise to 
chase anyone away for any reason other than selling non-electronic related 
items, which there seemed to be quite a bit of going on last year.

That most definitely IS a commercial vendor! The typical ham cleaning 
out his shack, or garage, normally doesn't need more then one space.

 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.

 
Good luck and maybe we will see so for the reflector members there.

Hello,

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger!  I sent a email requesting an explanation
for their weird price schedule, not a single word!  I have since decided I
am not going.  Three spaces does not mean a commercial vendor to me, that is
the only explanation I have gotten so far and that was not from the
Hamvention people.

Dayton Hamvention Reply back (as requested) 

My friend Tom replied with the following information: 

[paste]

Hi Skipp...
The pricing scheme for flea market spaces had been in place for 
many, many years, and is intended to discourage the larger 
vendors from hogging all the spaces, while keeping things less 
expensive for the guy who just wants to sell a few things he's 
had lying about in his shack. Interestingly enough, the average 
vendor buys just over two spaces ( kinda like the average American 
family has 2.4 kids!). Also, this  means that the vendors who 
buy a lot of spaces, and generally require a bit more attention 
and effort from the committee, pick up their share of the costs. 

The comment about the 2-way shops is pretty astute, and is also 
true for the build-your-own computer parts places, who have a 
tough time competing with a $400 pre-assembled PC. 

There is also the e-bay factor, although that seems to work both 
ways, as I have had several people tell me they buy things there 
for the purpose of bringing them to Dayton to resell.

The right place to go for information is [EMAIL PROTECTED],
but if that isn't getting any response, send a message to chair@
hamvention.org (and a copy to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the asst. GC). That's the
big boss, and he doesn't like it when inquiries go unanswered. He 
has the power to make heads roll.

Has anyone received anything yet?

This will be my 17th year at Dayton.  For at least the last 10 years
we've always had the same fleamarket spaces.  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.

Dayton is always a good time, even in the years with lousy weather, but
they need to make some improvements in the "customer service" side of
things...

Hey guys,


Just my two cents worth.


http://www.hamvention.org/ticket06.htm



Scroll down about two or three page lengths.



""We will start to mail out tickets April 1, 2006.""


I am NOT affiliated with Dayton at all. I just thought that this might help
answer some questions.


Hope to see you there.

I understand last years Hamvention was the first in years that it did not

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Dayton Hamvention & looking for channel elements

On the contrary - many of the repeater items I buy are at Dayton.

Side topic: Does anyone have any ham band Motorola or GE channel
elements for sale? (by ham band, I mean crystalled on ham freqs)
Also, only Micor era or newer - no Motrac, Motran, or T-power.

I'm also looking for ANY VHF GE PLL channel elements (ICOMS) below 150
MHz. (Part Numbers: 19A130605G8, G14, or G1 - prefer the 1s or 8s)

Please email direct with prices. mch (at) nb net

piss a bunch of folks off.
Scotty, did we get our tickets/spaces yet? (we hadn't the last time we 
conversed about it)

With that being said, Last year had shown some much needed change in the 
way the event was run.  IMHO It was the best Dayton Hamvention in 15 years.

Looking forward to year 32...

I'll agree with Tony to a point ...  not all women want a ham license
but I would go against the carnival, reason, their saftey record, and
too many litigation lawyers and it would be bad publicity once you have
an injury or death, I talked to a Ex - Carnie once he told me the
company he left had alot of equiptment that needed repairs.  Ask
yourself woulfd you let your child ride a peice of crap ?

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Dayton Hamvention Input Wanted.

[Rod Lane]

Some time ago my wife mentioned that IF she were ever to come to Dayton
during the Hamvention, she'd probably spend time at Wright-Patt.  There's
lots to see there, including several former Air Force One aircraft.

Dayton Hamvention Input Wanted.

My friend Tom is directly involved with the Dayton 
Hamvention.  His position in the 2006 year project 
is more toward the public relations side. 

He has asked me to poll you folks for new ideas, 
opinions and information for the 2006 Hamvention. 

The primary goal of this poll is to source ideas, 
which will be used to make the whole Hamvention 
event more attractive to non-hams... ie spouses 
and persons not normally attending the Hamvention. 

The quesion is: "What would it take to get your 
spouse to want to come to the Dayton Hamvention or 
spend time in the Greater Dayton Area while you 
attend the event?" 

We're looking for ideas regarding things we can offer 
at the Hamvention and off site.  One example might 
be a special shuttle service to available local 
shopping, tours of historical locations and culture. 

A new well posted list of non Amateur-Hamvention events 
and resources will probably be started and expanded 
with all the available input we receive. 

This is just the starting point for this poll.  The 
grass roots operation of the DARA people means they're 
trying hard to return the Hamvention to its more fun 
mode and they are looking for ideas to offer up to 
the public. 

  

I'll forward anything you want to send in, even the 
gripes and groans from past troubles that would result 
in making the future Hamventions better. 

One report I sent in from last year was related to the 
available Disabled Persons Electric Carts.  Understand 
some of those resources are provided by the HARA Arena 
People and not related to Hamvention.  So the feedback 
was received and sent in... how that information is used 
might not be under the control of the DARA People. 

Thanks much... DARA would like to know what it's going 
to take to make your non-ham spouse or friend interested 
in going to the Dayton Area or attend the Hamvention 
while your in town? 

Please reply direct back to me and I'll forward your 
ideas and comments along. 

thanks
