We have many members renew every year at Dayton. Be sure to watch the
next Journal or check on the web site for the list of new members that
joined.

The Banquet put on by Chapter 9 was lots of fun and very interesting.
The Speaker was a former F-15 pilot who talked about the specs of the
plane, performance and how a typical mission went.

Several folks asked about Jim, W7LVN who missed his first Dayton Hamfest
in many years.

The USA County Hunters Contest was going on also and I had over 50 Q's
on the way home from Alaska to Columbia South America to  Kaliningrad
Europe.  I also got to check into the QCWA Sunday afternoon net  mobile
from Illinois.  All in All a great ham radio weekend.

See you at our convention in Dallas.
