Dayton Ham convention
Josh:
All right, who's going to this most glorious of armature radio extravaganzas? I miss Hara, the arena seats where designed back when the average American wasn't morbidly obese, but I hear the new place is very nice and with a greatly reduced chance for a poop geyser eruption. I might go if they grant me vacation this year, haven't been since 2008 or so.

Actually, I'm bringing back the "Bass-O-Matic". It's sure to be a big hit on those hot, sweaty afternoons, with all the hams packed into close quarters.

Are you going to be selling "Catfish On A Stick" from your food truck in the parking lot this year, Al? Ham's will eat absolutely anything with breading & hot sauce on it.

I was there last in '17 I think, the first year at the new grounds in Greene County. It seemed like every year I was there, I got badly sunburned. Served me right for running around with a mohawk...
Plus add to all that the variability of the weather...tornadoes or snow, no in between.

Welcome to Ohio! The Natives told the White settlers it wasn't safe in what's now the Dayton-Xenia area. It was cursed and often hit by huge storms. Did they listen? No.
That area has had nasty tornado's for centuries as the original locals knew. The next time it's flattened , the Federal Govt. should plow it under and plant corn.
How does the the "Yellow Springs Hamfest" sound? Dave Chappelle lives there. You know it's a lively place with him out there. It's wouldn't be cluttered by old farts clogging the aisles on Rascal Scooters. In Yellow Springs, it's customized golf carts or nothing.
