My comment about my 376 Mixed DXCC was below that at the time of by earlier conventions where I stood up with a count below that. It changed each year if I had worked a "new one" and I had my card or two documented at the table outside the gathering room by the ARRL card checker....  sorry of my comment error. Standing up numbers increased over the years, etc.

Great to see K5UR left standing!👍  I remember so many Dayton Conventions with so many things to do and programs, card checkings etc. I was standing with my overall Mixed DXCC count of 376 and usually one or two DXers like OH2BH would outdo me except on one occasion.
Those were great years, and I miss Dayton so much and the evening DX rooms scattered all over the main downtown Hotel rooms on all floors and hundreds of DXers yaking and telling "stories". Yep, there were a few drinks over a 4-5 hour period and then getting back to the Convention Center early the next morning.. Ugggh..
Great standing occasion for our ARRL President! Sure sorry to have been missing Dayton over the past many years. 😔   My DXAC Chairman seminars were fun to update the group attending. Rick and Joel were covering ARRL booths and so involved many decades.
Our ADXA is so well known and thanks for UR and ZN for keeping it that way for years! 👌😊
