Well, the smoke has cleared… the truck is back in the garage, we finally had a decent night of sleep. Almost, anyway. The 2009 Dayton Hamvention is in the books.

Dayton – Day 2 (Saturday)

By Dale, on May 13th, 2009%

Well, hopefully we haven’t forgotten to pack anything critical. The back of the pickup is packed full of kits, we’re getting the last of the stuff packed in the suitcases, and we’ll be on the road shortly… as soon as I drop off the dog at Doggy Day Camp.

Welcome!

By Dale, on May 10th, 2009%

Welcome to the Hamgadgets blog!

I’ll be starting out by blogging during the Dayton trip. This will be my first time at the Dayton Hamvention, and I’m going as an exhibitor — so I’ll probably miss most of the Hamvention itself. Right now I’m busy getting the last few details done before we leave. We’re . . . → Read More: Welcome!
