Scott,
Are the space outside or inside. Also what about the $70 spaces.
When I had inside booth, 8x8, at Dayton 15 years ago they were over
$400. Outside was $30 and more if wanted more spaces. This is when
they sold out with about a 40% excess in request. They did a lottery to
determine who got a space. This is also when Dayton got over 32,000
attendance.

I asked my XYL if the Repeater-Builder group would qualify for one of

My kids will be old enough next year to allow for my wife and I to tend
some
tables. If we do get a few club spaces, we can all have a central
location
to meet other board members, plus sell a few items on the "club" table
without having to pay $70 per space!!!
As we have done in the past, we can bring our canopy that will cover 3
spaces, so we would have shelter. I already have a banner that says
Repeater-Builder on it. We'll just need to be sure to make it look like
a
club booth and not a commercial tailgating spot.
We have tried the dinner thing in the past with not real good results,
but
maybe a meeting tent would be a good idea. I will try to get 4 club
spaces
next year and see how that goes. I will let everyone know how I make out
early next spring.
Comments?

So you were there too, Jeff???
That does it - next year, WE (or at least *I*) absolutely NEED to
coordinate a meet location and time, so we can put faces to names! I'm
so frustrated I missed everyone!
Maybe next year I'll float a mini-blimp over my head with my call on
it... kinda like KE8T- who had the quagi on his hardhat. (NOT!!!)
Apparently my callsign mametag wasn't enough to "git 'r' done."
hehehe

It was great to meet up with Bob, Dave, Jeff and everyone else who
made Dayton 2008 a lot of fun. I kept trying to encourage Bob to buy
more surplus radio gear...
Where were you Sunday? NO6B bought lunch (brats) but you were nowhere
to be found...
My back hurts from hauling a near weight-limit suitcase back to the
left/west coast so you know I fell off my "12-Step Junker Enders"
Program for a short time. I'm both grateful and disappointed I don't
live within driving distance of the Dayton Hamvention.
In a moment of weakness (or perhaps utter stupidity?), on Sunday I
bought roughly 16000 electrolytic capacitors, 1000 ferrite chokes, a
few hundred toggle switches, a few hundred LED's, and a few hundred
other random components and connectors, all new in bags or on tape
reels, for $100. I almost escaped with the truck mostly-empty. My
XYL was overjoyed with my last-minute purchase...NOT.
