Dayton 2010 – Day 2
What a day! I would have to say that after last year, the Hamvention is definitely looking healthier. We’re certainly busier, due in part to a much better booth location. And hams seem to be in a buying mood; conversations are more upbeat and attitudes are more positive. All in all it feels like it’s a good sign for ham radio and the economy in general.
We sold out of PicoKeyer-Plus kits a little after lunch time today, but still have plenty of UKA-2 and ID-O-Matic II kits left. We’ve got a few MasterKeyers that I hope to sell before we pack up tomorrow.
I’ve now met both the present and former owners of Vibroplex, as well as a few other people I had hoped to see here. I still haven’t seen most of the Hamvention, though, and haven’t even been out to the flea market once during either trip! Some day I’ll have to do that…
