"Made a profit" last
year? Barry can verify, but I believe that would be true only if we left
cost of goods sold and cost of delivering services to members out of
the equation.
ARRL Expo in 2005 was a wonderful success
and this year's reprise was also a wonderful success, but the real payoff
is in goodwill and image rather than immediate bottom line.
They're working hard upstairs to get the
numbers pulled together.
By the way, let me make this opportunity to
thank the volunteers, especially those who travelled to Dayton on their own
nickel, for putting in so much time at ARRL Expo. We couldn't possibly have
managed to leave such a positive impression on the visitors to Expo without
you.

Hello Dave...
I realize
everybody is probably still in the recover and catch-up mode from
this past
weekend. But when the number is a available, I'm sure everybody
would
like to know if we covered our expo-induced expenses, or made a profit
as we
did last year.
