I also noted the wonderful service oriented efforts by staff and volunteers. And hams I spoke with were quite pleased with Hamvention in general and the ARRL area in particular. I would say that for a variety of reasons I would rank this year's Hamvention one of the best ever since I started attending them and camping on the 'Vention flea market grounds in 1973. Weather. Attendance. Organization of the ARRL Expo. Engaged, hard working staff. Volunteer participation. --all were top notch. A sincere congratulations to all!

I would like to add my congratulations to all that participated in the ARRL EXPO at Dayton!

I really cannot put into words the positive effect that the EXPO had on the Hamvention and for Amateur Radio in General. Despite long hours of work, the staff’s enthusiasm never wavered.

As I said when the EXPO first started, it is the very best event that the ARRL could have held to show who we are, what we do, and why it is important to be a member!

I understand sales reached an all time high! Congratulations!

Dave and Harold, please let the staff know what a great job they did this weekend, and offer my thanks!

I thought the Dayton ARRL EXPO was outstanding this year. And several ARRL members from the Midwest Division complimented the League on bringing all the services and such a wonderful “snapshot” of ARRL HQ to Dayton. They also praised the staff and volunteers who helped in all the booths, and expressed their pleasur e at being able to meet so many of the officers, directors, and staf f. I’m sure all of you are still recovering from the countless hou rs of preparation and hard work that went into this. Thanks for a job well-done.

For those Board members who were unable to attend, I thought you might be interested in the feedback about the event.
