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.
We were a little surprised at the low turnout on Saturday, but it seems attendance is off this year no doubt due to the sucking economy. Hopefully it will recover for next year. We didn’t sell out of everything, but did make a pretty good showing and made some contacts that will no doubt prove to be valuable. I also had the chance to talk to a LOT of hams, get some great feedback on our kits as well as the MasterKeyer, and hear what people want to see.
We did have one minor issue with the new keyers. Fortunately it didn’t take long to find the problem and come up with a fix, and we got the remaining units fixed before selling them. We’ll fix the first few that were sold , of course, hopefully before they have problems. It’s a good thing I decided to take all the programming tools along – just in case!
Next year we will probably be at Dayton as well as Friedrichshafen, Germany. What an adventure!
