[EIDXA] Last try, will post from home if this doesn't work tonight... Dayton 2014...

[Fred Spinner]

Sorry about the empty post(s).. I forgot I have to post to this list as "plain text" for it to actually have the message content come though...  The default HTML based e-mail that my provider sends doesn't seem to work on this list (only).

I have to apologize in advance because, unfortunately out of necessity, I've not been too active with ham radio and the EIDXA in the last couple of years.

However, we received a flyer in the snail mail from the friendly folks (misaddressed to a different ham) at DARA this morning, and the wife suggested that I take my older boys (11 and 12) to the Hamvention.  Shocked as I was for the offer, I was even more shocked that the boys seemed interested in actually going.  I might try to capitalize on this and see if I can get one or more of them licensed.  This is something I've failed miserably to do in the last couple of years due to lack of interest.

Are there any rooms left in the EIDXA block?  If so, I would love to take one.  In return I would drive again, and I'd have room for one additional person.

Please let me know if this is a possibility.  If not and anyone knows of other localish possibilities... let me know...

Steve: hell, the TS-590 only has about 8 hours on it total..   So, nope.. I'd like to actually use it a little first!  It's been a rough couple of years in the Spinner household...had a good run in 2009-2011.. but then it's been one disaster after another.. hopefully that'll change in 2014...


Thanks,
