[Elecraft] Dayton -- thanks!

[Wayne Burdick]

A brief report on Dayton:

We had two booths this year for the first time, and needed them! The two were
combined visually into a single booth space by six large gallery-style posters
that showed our full product line. Eric took a photo which I imagine will be
posted later this week.

Half the space was used as a walk-in demo area, with setups for the K1, K2,
KRC2, transverters, and K2/100 + KAT100-1 stack. This half was staffed primarily
by Richard Trebbian, Lyle Johnson, myself, and about a gazillion very helpful
Elecraft customers, who seemed to be having more fun than anyone else.

The other half was the Elecraft "store," occupied by Eric and Lerma Swartz and
five huge boxes of goodies. The latter was rapidly depleted. The former lasted
until Sunday ;)

At times I couldn't see any of the demo areas, posters, tables, or even the
floor. It was typical Dayton: the density went up whenever the outdoor exhibit
area was rained out.

In any case, we all had a great time showing off the new products, answering
questions, and taking suggestions and comments from everyone. I'd especially
like to thank our booth volunteers, who are too numerous to mention here;
Richard, our newest and perhaps most energetic staff member; Lyle, who patiently
explained how DSP works about a thousand times; and Lerma, who as usual kept
operations flowing smoothly.
