[Great-River-DX] Dayton Reports...

[Jay Hainline]

We had a great time. Icom had the new IC-7700 on display under a glass case.
They said it would cost around $6000. The one thing we notice is that it
does not have dual watch or dual receive capabilities for a "contest radio".


Kenwood says they are optimistic that they will have a new HF+6m radio to
show off at Dayton 2008. 

Yaesu had their new FT-450 on display. AES was selling them for $850 during
Dayton. Cute little base radio.

Elecraft had the K3 on display. Kit is all modular with no soldering
involved. With various options, it will cost $2000+.

I didn't stick around for very long at the dx forum. There was an
announcement of an expedition to Ducie Is. next winter.

All right guys, I figured by now we would have some reports on 2007 Dayton
but nothing...

How about some news, thoughts and observations on your experiences from
those who made the trek?
