[Great-River-DX] Hello from Dayton Hamvention!

[Jim Funk]

Glad several of you made it to Dayton!  I broke by string of attending with the "Northeast Missouri Mafia" this year.  Had to teach a class in Minneapolis MO-TH this week and then a service call and didn't get home until early Saturday morning.

Maybe next year.

73, Jim N9JF
