[RTTY] No RTTY Forum at Dayton 2004

[JOHN DOBSON]

I have been following this with much interest.
Ive just gotten into rtty for about a year and love it...been there, done
that with about every thing else.
I have not been to Dayton for probably 12 or more years and was planing on
going mainly for the flea market(read boat anchors IM gonna regret), and to
get with an established rtty group as I have found this group to be the most
friendly, helpful group that Ive seen in my 40 + yrs of ham
radio--however,,, the apparent fact that the Dayton hamvention appears to
have turned a cold shoulder to rtty leaves me a bit cold , sooo, I'M going
to keep myself and my money in WV...  perhaps the folks that run the hamfest
need to reevaluate the rtty potential that is out there/here.
my two cents, for what ever that is worth.
