Thanks for the great report Ray, and while I had to rely on modern rigs 
to check into the nets, "wait til next year" ;-)

This was my first Dayton in something like 12 years, and that was a 
one-day bus trip so I don't have the baseline some do, but I'm still 
jazzed.   I really enjoyed seeing all the military radios in operation, 
and the chance to meet some of you that I've only know via the 
internet.     My phone camera pics aren't great but feel free to take a 
look at stuff that caught my eye as I wandered around Friday and 
Saturday:  http://picasaweb.google.com/RANickels/Dayton2008

Thanks to Ron for taking the time to show me how to build a battery box 
for my RF-10, and having witnessed the world greatest assemblage of 
BC-611s, I'm determined to have mine powered-up by next year.  By the 
way, I thought they all sounded great on the air!

Like my buddy says,  "It's Dayton, there's nothing like it"!

73, Bob W9RAN
