Fellows, If you're going to Dayton, I sure would like to meet you. Two years ago I met with Bill Baker at his Information Station Specialists booth, then used his booth as a rendezvous point to meet (if memory serves) Rick WB8JUI and Dan WB8DC. Bill will be there this year, so Friday noon, please stop by! Hope meet some 630m OPS! BCNU at Dayton! Here is a link to the Dayton 2024 vendors. Scroll down to the I's and you will find @Bill Baker’s Information Station Specialists booth info. Friday noon! Be there or be square. https://www.make-it.ca/hamvention-2024/hamvention-2024-commercial.pdf
