I see that the folks at Dayton have again repeated the disaster of last year. Herding us all into Room 4 again is, in my mind a complete sham. What happen to using the old area? I would have thought
Last year, the entire area that had formerly been the old area was not in use -- blocked off completely. I seem to recall hearing that there was a physical problem (leaking roof?) that prevented the
Absent any plausible explanation for this scheduling stupidity from the New Regime at the Hamvention, my bet is that they didn't want to rent all the chairs. They seem a cheap bunch. Did someone say
Sure seems like an opportunity for someone to take over and provide a better solution. 73, de -KR- N6RCE n6rce@arrl.net Absent any plausible explanation for this scheduling stupidity from the New Reg
Well Jeff, I've been told privately by A Reliable Source that my information was incorrect, as is your bet. I am not at liberty to pass on the information I have; suffice to say that the answer is on
Ron: Interesting, but that wouldn't explain the same stupid action in assigning forum rooms last year. As for me, I'm not going to buy a Hamvention ticket this year. I'm going to Dayton for a club me
Well, being a Dayton local it's not that big of a secret. The Hamvention Chairman had to make a tough call with room assignments this year because of the ARRL Convention taking place during the Hamfe

Screw the ARRL National Convention and Bob Heil ... the DX, Contest, and Antenna forums have been the most popular and best attended forums year in and year out. Why should ARRL and Bob Heil push as
Ya know, I've been a ham for 30 year now (yikes!) and a semi-serious contester on and off for perhaps the last 10 or so. This marks the very first time my schedule is permitting me to make Dayton and

Ian, I have been going to Hamvention for about 20 years and each year has been a different experience. Some years were great while others were lousy. Generally I hang out with the QRP crowd because t
Ian (and others) -- this will be one of the best Dayton events ever! Lucky you to have it be your first. ** Amen brother! See you there. N5NJ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contes
"no smelly hams" There you go. Cut out all the "rift-raft". Will the big time contesting events be by invitation only? _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Conte
I guess if all the contesters would get HTs and put them on our belt with an external microphone clipped to our lapels, they would recongnize us a an important ham radio group....then we could be bac
I guess one's perspective is highly dependent on whether one drives to Dayton or flies. And also perhaps whether one has a room at the Crowne Plaza or not. This is the one weekend of the year that we
Guys and Gals, I just can't understand all this whining about the rescheduling/relocation of the Dayton forums. K1DG and K3LR are to be commended for turning Dayton into a first-rate contest conventi
thanks to AR and LR for securing a backup plan. For the record, I had nothing to do with the plan. You can thank K1DG and K3LR for the heavy lifting and putting it all together. Back to net. 73 JD __
