Flying over the Dayton Hamvention.

Dayton has been a series of wonderful experiences and ham memories over the years. My first "Dayton" was 1975. I had seen the pictures in QST of transistors in bushel baskets for $2 a pound and I wanted to see for myself. I still have a few of those transistors to this day. Attendance was 12,000. We parked on the west side next to the arena. The flea market extended only to the power pole with the gas valve. It made a lasting impression.

I made it every year since if at all possible. Business trips scheduled conveniently around the Dayton weekend, training classes, frequent flyer miles, space-available flights, bummed hotel rooms and car rides are all part of getting to Dayton. For a ham there is nothing like Dayton. Nothing.

Dayton Trivia:

Where did the name HARA come from? Answer: Two brother, Harry and Ray, own the complex. Harry owns the buildings and Ray owns the parking lots. They combined their names to form the name HARA!
