SKCC at Dayton Hamvention - 2015


UPDATES FROM DAYTON
Wednesday, 5/13: My trusty cohorts, Jim WA3MEJ), Linda (N3KSM aka: XYL, aka: DA Boss) and I visited HARA Arena (home of the Dayton HamVention 2015) this morning to deliver supplies and materials for the crew working the booth. After getting a hard day of work in (okay, maybe about a hard hour of work in), we hopped back into the car and drove over to the Air Force Museum at Wright Patterson AFB to take in the fantastic display of aircraft available. There we ran into Urb (W1UL) and his friend John (also a Ham but not [yet] a member of SKCC. (we will work on that) Urb will be joining us at the booth for a few stints during the show (thanks, Urb).After the museum tour, we returned to the HamVention to check up on the table. There we met with Ted (K8AQM), our intrepid Editor-in-Chief of the RagChew. Ed hung the SKCC Banners and delivered the information cards and keys for the visitors to try when visiting the booth. Now, we are back at our humble hotel and taking a break . But visions of a Steak and Shake dinner are dancing in our heads.

Friday: Our booth opened promptly at 0900 and we stood ready to meet our fellow SKCCer's from all points of the USA/World. Curt (WA2JSG), Larry (AH6AX, aka Scoops), Jim (WA3MEJ), Tom (K9DAC), and Linda (N3KSM - aka, Larry's YL) opened the booth this morning. Ted (K8AQM) dropped by to cheer us up before heading out to his tailgate spot. Ed (WH7TT) is, thus far, the winner for most distance traveled - he comes to us from the island of Oahu, Hawaii. Ed has been helping man the booth and he brought his friend "Hutch" (not YET a member, but we're working on that) to help out too! Along the way, Ken (AB8KT) and John (K4BAI) stopped by for a visit. At the end of today, we had 115 members log in at the booth. We will take a group photo tomorrow at 1300L. LNR Precision, Inc. loaned us a SKCC key for folks to try as they came by. At closing, I spoke with a rep from LNR who said they had sold two of the 10 SKCC keys today (we have the 3rd)... so if you're coming to the show - better stop by and get that key before it goes bye-bye. Well, old Scoops is tired from all the fun today - so I will sign off for now - see you again tomorrow. 73

Saturday: We had a great day today. We logged 172 SKCC members, thus and got the gang together for a group picture. Among the visitors to the booth were Karen (W4KRN) and her husband, Jim (K4JTR) AND we had the pleasure of meeting young miss Faith Hannah (AE4FH), AGE 10 and her dad, James (WX4TV). Faith just passed and received her EXTRA Class ticket. She sent some fine cw on the code keys that were on display at our booth. We have encouraged her (and her dad) to join SKCC, so we hope to hear them both on SKCC bands.
Along the way over this weekend, we had lots of visitors, and some were just a bit eccentric - Tom (K9DAC) and Scott (N3JJT) ran into 'KRISTEN' - aka Antenna Lady. Woody (N3WB) and his YL, Sandra stopped by to see how we were doing. At 1300, we took a couple of group pictures of those who met with us.

Tomorrow we will wrap up a fine 3-day event and head for home with our new goodies from the show. Thanks to LNR Precision for the loan of the 2015 SKCC Key. It's been a great show, but we're ready to get back to hamming and chasing DX!

Sunday: We wrapped up a great show with 184 members dropping by to sign in with us. I've been told that's a new record! LNR Precision folks told us to keep the SKCC Key for our use in a future raffle/give away - Please keep them in mind if you're looking for a solid performing key. I have one and use it as well as my Czech key as one of my two primary keys for SKCC. This is your intrepid reporter, Scoops, signing off from SKCC, Hamvention 2015, Dayton, Ohio!
