Hmm .. that's a good idea, if Frank, N2FF don't find a solution
at the Arena!

As Ron, K5DJ recently said: "As for a Hospitality room, the Ramada
Inn (Dayton North) has a meeting room, dunno how big it is, if
someone wants to get it I will kick in a few bucks ..."

OK, will kick in a few bucks too! Don't know how many RTTY HAM's

year after year and can't believe, what happened ... ~:)
