I hear you, Joel, and understand. For added perspective, I've found it best in dealing with Gary to pose issues to him so he can ruminate on the point, and follow up with him later.

If I had a nickel for every time I blew 20 bucks I'd be rich (don't try to add that up!!! hi hi) It is about policies and procedures for our conventions, at least that is the way I view it. 73 Joel W5ZN -----Original Message----- From: Jim K8JE [mailto:K8JE@arrl.org] Sent: Friday, April 01, 2005 10:17 PM To: arrl-odv Subject: [arrl-odv:12035] Re: Dayton Registration Greg and all, I can't say at this time if everyone who is going to Dayton will receive comp. tickets. I'm working on this with Gary DesCombes, Hamvention Chairman. I asked about this after the DARA meeting tonight. He wanted to think about how to make this happen and said they would give a highly discounted price if nothing else. I should learn more at the coming Hamvention meeting. In the meantime, he and I will shuffle information between us by E-mail or phone.

My Vice Director, Jim Fenstermaker, K9JF, will also be attending this year. I also assumed he will be comp. It is our National after all. It has been a while since I was the head of the committee that held a National (1988 in Portland) but I remember that all the Board family were comped for registration. 73/Greg W7OZ
