I have been licensed and active since 1961. I am now 74 years old and have not yet attended. Seems like I better get it done. Attending the Dayton Hamfest is a ham radio pilgrimage - right?
Yes it is. It’s good to do some homework and have a plan. Take time to talk with fellow hams you meet.
@ K7NSW: I have been blessed to live an hour or less from Dayton all of my life, and had my ticket since 1981. If you haven't been yet, and can travel comfortably, you ought to go at least once. Be aware that the area hotels will fill quickly, so that should be your first priority unless you have a friend or relative near Xenia/Dayton. Most folks arrive Thursday to get settled in, and then attend Friday and Saturday minimum. For the most part, there isn't much going on for Sunday like there used to be 20 or more years ago.

I'm looking at W8HJR's avatar and I'm thinking Dayton needs a look-alike contest. Too many winners though. I would be in the Bald/Gray beard category w/Glasses.
Be careful, the Hamvention is addicting. I am 78 and will be traveling 500 miles to attend my 37 straight Dayton Hamvention.
Hamvention is THE Eyeball QSO Show of Shows! And ALSO going on is the "Four Days" In May event hosted by QRPARCI! You might want to consider attending BOTH as I always do. Info & Registration here: https://qrparci.org/fdim 73 DE W8LV Bill
