Hi Bob, the local fiber provider, Springnet had a power problem this morning 
to one of their cabinets and it made our connection drop for a while.

Re: Construction during Hamvention 2008

March 16,  2008

For Immediate Release

Here it is mid March already and right  at 2 months till the Dayton 
Hamvention. There is one small hitch this year,  road construction, and lots 
of it. With that said, I am sending this notice  out in hopes of reaching as 
many as possible in advance to try to minimize  the problems we could all 
(staff, volunteers, attendees,  speakers, everyone) face.

One of the main surface streets used by  attendees of Hamvention every year 
is Needmore Road since it is almost a  straight shot from I-75 (exit 58) to 
Hara Arena. Unfortunately in the next  couple weeks a rebuild project is set 
to begin on this roadway right in the  travel path to Hara in which it will 
be down to one lane each way for no less than 100 working days.

The next problem we face in the way of  construction is at the north end of 
the Downtown Dayton area (about the 53 to  56 mile markers on I-75). In this 
area the Ohio Department of Transportation  has started a multi-year 
multi-phase reconstruction of I-75 in which there  are lane restrictions, 
bridge replacements, and various other  adjacent projects.

Both of these projects are much overdue and will,  in the long run, 
drastically improve travel in the area. Unfortunately for  now we are faced 
with these projects in high volume areas that are already  prone to trouble 
from even the slightest traffic issue. To assist  everyone involved we are 
asking that those attending Hamvention please try  to avoid these areas if 
possible. Our hope is that if we minimize  our traffic in the area, and a 
problem does occur, we do not make it  worse with our increased traffic 
flow.

Please use the below listed  alternatives if you need to go to the satellite 
parking at the former Salem  Mall.

I-75 Southbound from Troy & Toledo, OH (points  North)
Exit 61 (I-70 Westbound), Richmond, IN) Take Exit 61 west to  Exit 26 Hoke 
Rd. Turn left at the end of the ramp. The next intersection is  SR 49 (Salem 
Ave.) Travel south on SR 49 (Salem Ave.) 4 miles to Salem Bend  Road. Turn 
left on Salem Bend Road. Turn right on Wood Creek into the parking  lot. If 
you miss the turn at Salem Bend Road, in 100 yards turn left on  Shiloh 
Springs and turn left into the mall and drive to the rear of the mall  for 
Hamvention? Parking.

I-75 Northbound From Cincinnati, OH (points  South)
Exit 52 US Route 35 West Go west on US 35 approximately 5 ?  miles. US 35 
will curve to the right becoming Northbound and once it crossed  West Third 
Street becomes SR 49. Continue North on SR 49. Follow to  intersection with 
Salem Avenue and turn Right. When you make this turn you  need to move to 
the left thru lane, as you will be turning left very shortly.  You
will come to a traffic light at Salem Bend Road. Turn left on  Salem Bend 
Road. Turn right on Wood Creek into the parking lot. If you  miss the turn 
at Salem Bend Road, in 100 yards turn left on Shiloh  Springs and turn left 
into the mall and drive to the rear of the mall  for Hamvention? Parking.

For vendors, handicap parking, and  individuals with credentials trying to 
go to the Arena please follow the  below directions.

I-75 Southbound from Troy & Toledo, OH (points  North)
Exit 61 (I-70 Westbound), Richmond, IN) Take Exit 61 west to Exit  29 North 
Main St. State Route 48). Turn left at the end of the ramp. Follow  south 
about 5 miles to Shiloh Springs Road and turn Right. Flea Market  Vendors 
and Handicap Parking enter through Entrance 4 all others with  credentials 
use Entrance 1.

I-75 Northbound From Cincinnati, OH (points  South)
Exit 52 US Route 35 West Go west on US 35 approximately 5 ? miles.  US 35 
will curve to the right becoming Northbound and once it crossed West  Third 
Street becomes SR 49. Continue North on SR 49. Follow to intersection  with 
Turner Road and turn Right.

Flea Market & Handicap  Parking
Follow Turner Road to Philadelphia Road and turn left. Then follow  to North 
Main Street (State Route 48) and turn left. Stay in the left lane  and turn 
left on Shiloh Springs Road. Enter at Entrance 4.

Inside  Exhibitors & Others With Credentials (Not Flea Market)
You will come to a  traffic light at Wolf Road. Turn left on Wolf Road. Wolf 
Road will dead end  into Shiloh Springs at Entrance 1. Go straight across 
Shiloh Springs  here.

Individuals traveling on I-70 will not need to make any changes  from years 
past due to this construction. For more information or if  you have 
questions feel free to contact the Talk-In Chairman Rob  Lunsford KB8UEY via 
email at talkin@hamvention.org. Also once in the  Dayton area if you need 
assistance you can tune to 146.940- for further
assistance.

Please pass this information on to anyone who may  need it.

Bob, did you happen to notice there are no bus pass offered or even
mentioned on the Hamvention web page?  In the past folks could order them
along with advance ticket purchases.  The three day bus passes were very
reasonable for folks that park at the one time Salem Mall parting lot.

My mistake fellows.  I looked at the information under the icon for tickets
and sent for mine without looking at the order form.  Sorry for the
misinformation.

Subject: [QCWA] QCWA 2008 Spring QSO Party
Message-ID: <6.1.2.0.2.20080325195850.028f3470@pop.storm.ca>

Its that time again.
In a couple of weeks the April 5/6 QSO Party................

Thought I better remind you, as it is important that  as many of you  as
possible get on the air. Our QSO parties are the best advertisement that
QCWA get as far as active amateurs go. Operators that know what
QCWA  means hear the activity and are reminded that we are an active group.
Listeners that don't know what QCWA means have their curiosity tweaked,
and hopefully investigate.

Myself I just get to log a bunch of old friends...... And this year collect 
some
membership numbers for the QCWA 60-60 award..

I haven't received my Spring Journal yet, but I understand it is in the mail.
If you haven't received yours yet the Party information is at
www.qcwa.org/qso-party.htm  .The rules have been updated  a bit, so have
a read.

Also the publicity sent to worldradio and CQ got garbled a bit.. CQ got 
last years
date in their March Issue. I hope their April issue is corrected. I have no 
idea where
worldradio got their information. It wasn't what I sent. Please don't send 
your logs
to Dick Newsome, WOHXL. Dick did the log checking for many years, but passed
the job to Bob Buus, W2OD several years ago. He will be very surprised to 
receive
QSO Party Logs ( I do run into dick during the odd QSO Party).
If you look at the QSO points you will see that you get 1 point for phone and
2 points for SSB ? ? ?

I have one job to do before the QSO Party. My city of Ottawa  had the 
largest snowfall
for March ever recorded. And it all came in the first week or so of March. 
A VERY large
slide of snow off my roof broke my open wire feeders, so if I want to use 
my sloper I
will have to dig my way out to them.

I hope to work many of you, and please send in your log to Bob Buus even if 
you only
make a few contacts.

Cheers

George-VE3BNO
Activities manager..

I'm sorry to report that Ralph Hasslinger is a Silent Key. The message below 
is from his granddaughter, who has been my contact over the past several 
months. I'll forward additional information as I receive it. Please pass 
this along to other QCWA members.
Bob, would you please post this information on the web page. I have other 
background material that I will provide in few days.                  73

...is that the term for a member who the angels have taken to heaven? 
PopPop is at peace.
Arrangements have been made at VanderPlaat Funeral Home... 201-891-3400.. 
They haven't set the dates yet, though.  We think services on Sun., funeral 
on Monday.
Thank you for your concern and for helping to make his life so complete and 
happy.

Subject: [QCWA] First Wednesday CCA AM Night April 2nd!
Message-ID: <00fe01c8929a$ea96cf30$7494694b@KWM380>

FIRST WEDNESDAY AM NIGHT!!! Sponsored by the Collins Collectors Association.

Wednesday April 2nd,2008 on 3880 kcs at 7:00 PM local East Coast time marks 
the start of the latest
chapter of First Wednesday AM Night, drawing hundreds of vintage stations 
from across the country.

The event is anchored by a "tall ship" AM station in each time zone. The 
East Coast and Central sections run
for 90 minutes in response to the tremendous participation in those time 
zones. The remaining time zones
will be an hour. We encourage stations to check-in on AM using Collins and 
other AM transmitters, new and
old.  It's an opportunity to revel in this nostalgic mode, enjoy giving 
vintage equipment a "run," and sharing
some storytelling about classic vacuum tube homebrew and commercial designs. 
Typically more than a
hundred stations take part in the evening's coast-to-coast AM event; by the 
time it concludes at 10:00 PM
Local PST.

LISTEN for the following anchors and stop by to say hello, won't you? You 
don't have to be running Collins
or vintage gear to be welcomed into the group.

7:00 PM-8:30 PM Local East Coast Time Anchor:  Bob W0YVA

7:30 PM-9:00 PM Local Central Time Anchor:  Jim W0NKL and Brian K0EFJ

8:00 PM-9:00 PM Local Mountain Time Anchor: K0OJ Jim and Chuck KD0ZS

8:00 PM-9:00 PM Local West Coast Time Anchor:  WA6FIZ Mickey

We are still looking for additional anchors in the West Coast time zone. 
Please contact me if you are interested!
