Post by thread:[OT] Dayton or Bust!

Hi all, Well, it's that time of year again...Dayton Hamvention time! Last year I met Dave VanHorn, Nate Duer (sorry about the spelling) and of course my old friend Carey. This year I'd love to add to that list! If anyone is planning on attending please let me know and we can set a time and place to meet up. Thanks!

Sweet! I live in Toledo and the TMRA (ham group) is chartering a bus for us to go to Dayton. I'll definately be there. We're only going 1 day though (Saturday), but will be there all day. I'm anxious. -Josh On 5/11/07, Josh Koffman <spam_OUTjoshybearTakeThisOuTgmail.com> wrote: {Quote hidden}> Hi all, > > Well, it's that time of year again...Dayton Hamvention time!

Do you already have reservations? I heard all hotels in a 30 mile radius have been sold out since last years hamfest. Seems like at least 3 people will be going, maybe we could all meet up sometime (Saturday preferably) :) -Josh On 5/11/07, Thomas C.

Yup, I reserve in advance! > Seems like at least 3 people will be going, maybe we could all meet up > sometime (Saturday preferably) :) Assuming that Carey's company (NCS) is exhibiting again, I propose their booth as a meeting place. Say...noon on Saturday? Hopefully he'll chime in with more info.

> Seems like at least 3 people will be going, maybe we could all meet up > sometime (Saturday preferably) :) I wish.. Dad's still recovering from more hip work, and I'm tied up here in Pittsburgh. :( Maybe next year. I'm puzzled though.. All the CMU robotics guys are here, but there's apparently no electronics shops in the area. The hobby stores don't even go as far as the one 2 miles from my house in muncie in. No frys, the closest is indianapolis... Seems bizarre

Aye, seems like the mom-pop electronics stores died out in the 90's. At least that's what I hear. Most people just do mail order now adays. Though Radio shack does have *some* things, but nothing great. Check magazines :) I like Circuit Cellar. A good place I've found recently (as I'm getting started) is http://www.jameco.com Btw hope your father gets better. -Josh On 5/11/07, David VanHorn <microbrixspam_OUTgmail.com> wrote: {Quote hidden}> > Seems like at least 3 people will be going, maybe we could all meet up > > sometime (Saturday preferably) :) > > I wish..

Well, I hope he gets better soon! Does this mean he'll be a little less reliant on the scooter? That battery search was by far my favourite story of last year's event!

(I actually wanted it all, but there is a limit to what I can fit on the bike!) * | __O Thomas C.

I would like to point out that this CNC router: http://www.linearcnc.com/ with our very own Linistepper drivers http://www.piclist.com/techref/io/stepper/linistep/index.htm will be at the show courtesy of Brian Gerber.

Ok, I'm here, the bargains are flowing, and I'm spending and selling. If anyone is here (and checking email) stop by our fleamarket spot. We're in 304 right near the main Hara entrance across from the sweatshirt guys. Look for the minivan with the British Columbia plates. Just ask for Josh! -j -- A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. -Douglas Adams

I told the guys someone might be by looking for me, but I didn't mention the PICList. Ah well...perhaps next year!
