Dayton Becomes Crystal Clear

摘要

May 2017 brought my 37th trip to Ham-vention® and the new venue at the Greene County Fairgrounds in Xenia looks like it will be its new home for some time to come (See "Travels With CQ" photo essay elsewhere in this issue -ed.). It was great seeing so many of my readers, especially at my kit-building forum. I promise not to let my USB drive slip out of my pocket again. We had a full room in my forum, which was amazing, and I thank all of you not only for being there, but also finding Forum Room 4! It was an air-conditioned oasis compared to past years and quiet as well. A welcome change from the noisy Room 5 I occupied at Hara Arena. I didn't get to explore the flea market for kits as much as I would have liked, but I look forward to the 2018 improvements I have heard are coming to that area of the Hamvention. Hats off to the hard working people of the Dayton Amateur Radio Association who make this annual event possible.
