• The 2008 Dayton HamVention was a success

  Just a quick update on the BMHA forum at Dayton. We had about 50-60 attend which is a good turnout on Sunday morning. Both speakers, Jim, W5AOX and Norm, N9ZKX did a great job and there was lot’s of interest in their bikes with APRS. Both had their bikes on display. I presented a short update on BMHA past and future.

  To me it looked like a smaller turnout this year and there were more empty spaces in the outdoor flea market than prior years. Inside exhibits were down also but all the major dealers and manufactures were there. This was even my year to win one of the hourly door prizes, about 5 ARRL publications.
