I'm glad you did chime in, Dick, because I completely forgot about the "callsign scavenger hunt"! I'll bet you were a "most wanted" Joel -----Original Message----- From: dick@pobox.com [mailto:dick@pobox.com] Sent: Monday, August 20, 2007 12:42 PM To: arrl-odv Subject: [arrl-odv:15904] Re:2007 ARRL National Convention 20 AUG 2007 - 1235 CDT I do not normally chime in on an officers' report, but Joel's report of the youth activities is right on target. As luck would have it, I was sitting in the Development booth when the hoard of very enthusiastic young rabbit hunters arrived. It was fun to watch Joel getting a through shake-down by hunters. I was also a "rare 9 callsign" in the youth callsign scavenger hunt. (I only saw five "9-land" callsigns the whole weekend.) I enjoyed answering their questions and helping the kids to correctly write down my callsign and State. My hat's off to all the ARRL staff members and member volunteers who worked long hours to make the 2007 ARRL National Convention a great success. - Dick, W9GIG
