You hit the nail 00:05:40.470 --> 00:05:43.410 on the head there that's exactly what the theme 00:05:43.410 --> 00:05:45.709 is it's reunion, you know, we were talking about 00:05:45.709 --> 00:05:48.459 it we thought You know when you have a theme 00:05:48.459 --> 00:05:50.500 you don't want to be long -winded you don't want 00:05:50.500 --> 00:05:53.500 it to have or people can You know after what 00:05:53.500 --> 00:05:55.779 is the theme this year? I don't know. It's it's 00:05:55.779 --> 00:05:58.620 like a paragraph long so we try to keep it to 00:05:58.620 --> 00:06:02.560 one or two words and We really just was so easy 00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:04.600 and it was so quick. You know what it's gonna 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:07.399 be a reunion We're all gonna we're all gonna 00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:09.839 get to see each other again. It's all gonna be 00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:12.220 face to face We're gonna have fun. We're gonna 00:06:12.220 --> 00:06:16.009 talk about amateur radio and By the way, I want 00:06:16.009 --> 00:06:19.509 to tell you that currently right now, as of this 00:06:19.509 --> 00:06:25.269 recording, there are zero COVID patients in Miami 00:06:25.269 --> 00:06:27.470 Valley Hospital, which is our biggest hospital 00:06:27.470 --> 00:06:31.310 center in Dayton, Ohio. Zero COVID patients. 00:06:32.089 --> 00:06:39.009 I like that number. Yeah, and the mask mandates 00:06:39.009 --> 00:06:41.790 have all been lifted. I can't predict what's 00:06:41.790 --> 00:06:45.439 going to happen in another seven weeks. So far, 00:06:45.699 --> 00:06:50.240 Neil, you know what? It's looking good. We're 00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:54.879 not masked police. We just have to follow the 00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:57.560 guidelines of whatever the county tells us to 00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:02.339 do. Well, I know that things have been looking 00:07:02.339 --> 00:07:08.120 pretty good on the COVID front and on your sales 00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:11.439 and everything. So we'll talk about that here 00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.180 in a minute. But, you know, you already mentioned 00:07:14.180 --> 00:07:19.759 the mask mandates gone for at least now. So what 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:25.100 changes have been put in place for, dare I say 00:07:25.100 --> 00:07:29.180 post COVID, because it's not totally over, but 00:07:29.180 --> 00:07:33.339 more or less, you know, after the worst of the 00:07:33.339 --> 00:07:36.839 pandemic, what changes are still kind of hanging 00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:41.810 on? Well, you know, I think that people want 00:07:41.810 --> 00:07:43.629 to be careful. They want to keep their hands 00:07:43.629 --> 00:07:47.949 clean and we'll have plenty of sanitizer. And 00:07:47.949 --> 00:07:50.209 as a matter of fact, we've improved the air movement 00:07:50.209 --> 00:07:53.329 in these buildings. All of them have had improved 00:07:53.329 --> 00:07:56.449 air buildings and the building that you usually 00:07:56.449 --> 00:07:58.810 frequent, we put new air conditioning in that 00:07:58.810 --> 00:08:01.329 building and it's all painted. A lot of the buildings 00:08:01.329 --> 00:08:05.550 inside have been painted, new lighting and really 00:08:05.550 --> 00:08:09.129 updated. We did build one new building and we're 00:08:09.129 --> 00:08:15.019 excited about that. It won't be a real big building, 00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:21.339 but we'll be in use this year and we'll have 00:08:21.339 --> 00:08:25.160 plenty of good, the great food trucks that are 00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:26.740 out there. I think that that's become a really 00:08:26.740 --> 00:08:29.620 good hallmark of Panvention that we have good 00:08:29.620 --> 00:08:32.779 food now. You're not paying $10 for a bottle 00:08:32.779 --> 00:08:36.840 of water. We try to keep the gas, the benders, 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.100 please keep them, especially on water, keep the 00:08:39.100 --> 00:08:42.149 price down. And everybody's very reasonable, 00:08:42.149 --> 00:08:44.169 I think, in their prices of food, but it's just 00:08:44.169 --> 00:08:48.669 excellent. And the restrictions have been reduced 00:08:48.669 --> 00:08:52.230 a lot there too. So we're really, I'll tell you, 00:08:52.309 --> 00:08:55.070 we're really looking forward to it. We're planning 00:08:55.070 --> 00:08:58.309 on some excellent weather, temperatures usually 00:08:58.309 --> 00:09:02.690 in maybe high 70s, low 80s each day with... plenty 00:09:02.690 --> 00:09:05.110 of sunshine, maybe a few fluffy white clouds 00:09:05.110 --> 00:09:08.850 come through and a soft, gentle breeze. That's 00:09:08.850 --> 00:09:11.610 what we're planning. Yeah, there we go. Well, 00:09:11.789 --> 00:09:15.429 that order sounds like a good one. So hopefully 00:09:15.429 --> 00:09:19.730 that comes through. Well, how are the sales going 00:09:19.730 --> 00:09:23.450 for your tickets and booths and those kinds of 00:09:23.450 --> 00:09:28.549 things? How's that coming along? I want to say 00:09:28.549 --> 00:09:32.799 that it's robust. There are And I like that word 00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:35.700 robust and it's robust in the ticket sales and 00:09:35.700 --> 00:09:40.580 it's robust in the selling the booths and as 00:09:40.580 --> 00:09:47.360 well as in the flea market. And we have some 00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:50.539 vendors who are not going to have maybe as big 00:09:50.539 --> 00:09:53.480 a spaces as they had before, but there are other 00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:56.720 vendors that are taking up that space and yet 00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:00.200 new vendors that are coming in eager to get there, 00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:05.840 happy to get there, So we are very optimistic 00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:08.159 this year. Very, very optimistic. It's going 00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:11.919 to be, I think, a very much a stellar year the 00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:15.360 way things are going right now. Well, from what 00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.960 I've seen, a couple of the shows that I've been 00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:25.500 to, demand has been very high. People are just 00:10:25.500 --> 00:10:28.679 really anxious to see each other again and get 00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:35.629 back out and doing things. And so the sales of 00:10:35.629 --> 00:10:39.429 the tickets and vendors and tables and everything 00:10:39.429 --> 00:10:45.289 has just been through the roof. And I think you're 00:10:45.289 --> 00:10:48.570 right. I think this year is going to be a really 00:10:48.570 --> 00:10:53.970 robust year. So we look forward to that. And 00:10:53.970 --> 00:10:58.269 I know you've got some new stuff. You mentioned 00:10:58.269 --> 00:11:00.649 this new building talk a little bit about that 00:11:00.649 --> 00:11:06.250 and and some prizes that you've had donated and 00:11:06.250 --> 00:11:10.929 a few other new things for this year Yeah, we 00:11:10.929 --> 00:11:14.289 are fortunate to have a new building and it's 00:11:14.289 --> 00:11:17.710 still being it's being completed So I can't disclose 00:11:17.710 --> 00:11:20.909 everything about it, but it will be done before 00:11:20.909 --> 00:11:25.759 convention starts We're you know in discussions 00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:30.179 with maybe some other more expansions that to 00:11:30.179 --> 00:11:34.559 do at the expo center and I will tell you that 00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:38.259 Green County is really being very aggressive 00:11:38.259 --> 00:11:41.460 at getting some big great big shows in there 00:11:41.460 --> 00:11:45.940 and that's good for us when they have other major 00:11:45.940 --> 00:11:49.620 shows that just things just improve all the time 00:11:49.620 --> 00:11:53.460 so you know that's very exciting. As far as prizes 00:11:53.460 --> 00:11:59.389 go There is a major prize. It's a group of prizes. 00:11:59.429 --> 00:12:02.889 It's a dream station. And the dream station is 00:12:02.889 --> 00:12:09.309 going to include an ICOM 7851 and an ICOM, let's 00:12:09.309 --> 00:12:14.769 see, 9700. And I think 705 is that. And then 00:12:14.769 --> 00:12:16.850 one other radio. I'm sorry, I don't have that 00:12:16.850 --> 00:12:19.970 in front of me. I just got this news today. And 00:12:19.970 --> 00:12:22.570 all together, this is probably over $20 ,000. 00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:27.279 what they call a dream station. And I say that 00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:30.299 each one of these radios will have most of the 00:12:30.299 --> 00:12:33.539 major accessories with them, you know, like the 00:12:33.539 --> 00:12:39.399 best speaker that goes with it. I know ICOM has 00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:44.580 a remote program that's gonna go with it. And 00:12:44.580 --> 00:12:46.879 the better microphones that they have are gonna 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:51.929 go with it. It is really a major prize. And it's 00:12:51.929 --> 00:12:58.070 being jointly donated by both ICOM and Dext Engineering. 00:12:58.690 --> 00:13:00.549 But that's, I don't want to take away from all 00:13:00.549 --> 00:13:03.110 the other people that are donating. We're getting 00:13:03.110 --> 00:13:07.929 a lot of great prizes being donated, and we really, 00:13:07.929 --> 00:13:10.570 really appreciate the vendors that do that. And 00:13:10.570 --> 00:13:13.090 it's exciting for the whole amateur radio community 00:13:13.090 --> 00:13:17.289 that people have an opportunity to really win 00:13:17.289 --> 00:13:21.720 some fantastic amateur radio gear. That's all 00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:25.240 just part of what's happening. The forums are 00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:27.559 getting pretty well filled up and they will soon 00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:31.500 be on the website of who's going to speak and 00:13:31.500 --> 00:13:35.460 the different forums. You know, I will say that 00:13:35.460 --> 00:13:38.879 the Dayton convention was actually became Dayton 00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:44.580 and became the big one because of forums. And 00:13:44.580 --> 00:13:47.159 when it started at the Biltmore Hotel, people 00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:50.159 came to the event because of the forums they 00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:55.399 love the forums and To this day Neil and I know 00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:59.419 you know that that the forums have been a Really 00:13:59.419 --> 00:14:05.840 a big draw at Dayton Absolutely And you've got 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:11.139 some some good Venues there to host those in 00:14:11.139 --> 00:14:14.590 because Back in the old place, it was getting 00:14:14.590 --> 00:14:20.509 a little crowded. And the new facilities, you've 00:14:20.509 --> 00:14:26.230 got plenty of room. Yeah, we absolutely do. And 00:14:26.230 --> 00:14:31.870 the exciting thing is we have improved the airflow 00:14:31.870 --> 00:14:34.250 in all the buildings. Every single one of the 00:14:34.250 --> 00:14:36.710 buildings has improved airflow, whether it's 00:14:36.710 --> 00:14:40.320 bigger fans. The units are quieter and some of 00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:41.700 the buildings, you know, the air conditioning 00:14:41.700 --> 00:14:48.139 has been improved to maintain and buildings have 00:14:48.139 --> 00:14:51.039 been painted, new lighting has been put in. It's 00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:53.080 very impressive. It's getting better and better 00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:57.460 all the time. So we're very excited about, you 00:14:57.460 --> 00:14:59.320 know, having our guests come back and see the 00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:01.759 changes this year. One of the things that has 00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:04.720 always been a problem or two things. When we 00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:08.440 used to have it at HERA Arena, Number one was 00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:12.259 food, you know, and we have really worked hard 00:15:12.259 --> 00:15:15.919 at trying to get different types of food in there 00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:20.360 and lots of food trucks, lots of opportunities 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:24.879 to eat different things. As a matter of fact, 00:15:25.220 --> 00:15:27.899 some of the folks in the city of Xenia kind of 00:15:27.899 --> 00:15:31.360 complained, hey, nobody comes down to the city 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:33.740 of Xenia to eat lunch or anything and we tell 00:15:33.740 --> 00:15:36.230 them. Well, you know what, it's pretty hard to 00:15:36.230 --> 00:15:38.610 keep up with these great food trucks and food 00:15:38.610 --> 00:15:40.889 vendors that we have in here. You know, the pork 00:15:40.889 --> 00:15:43.730 producers, the cattlemen's association, and I 00:15:43.730 --> 00:15:45.629 know you have your favorite and you'll see, might 00:15:45.629 --> 00:15:48.909 as well talk about it. Now, you read my mind. 00:15:49.330 --> 00:15:52.850 I always give you a hard time. I always give 00:15:52.850 --> 00:15:55.769 you a hard time about cheesecake on a stick because 00:15:55.769 --> 00:15:59.269 the first, you know, that was always the way 00:15:59.269 --> 00:16:03.539 you knew where to turn. that Hera was, okay, 00:16:03.539 --> 00:16:05.759 you go to the Cheesecake on a Stick and then 00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:08.440 you turn right to get to that other building. 00:16:08.860 --> 00:16:12.159 And so we always talk about the Cheesecake on 00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:15.840 a Stick. And the first year, there was no Cheesecake 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.159 on the Stick. And I did the research and found 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:21.299 out the whole story behind the Cheesecake on 00:16:21.299 --> 00:16:24.539 a Stick. And lo and behold, the next year, I 00:16:24.539 --> 00:16:28.519 don't know what you did, but I counted at least 00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:33.639 three food trucks. That had cheesecake on a stick 00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:40.840 That's because of you Neil Now they listen to 00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:43.659 you They're out there doing their research and 00:16:43.659 --> 00:16:45.240 they want to listen to these things and they 00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:47.419 want to hear from people like you they want to 00:16:47.419 --> 00:16:50.360 hear from people who are coming in on the internet 00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:53.879 asking questions calling in on the phone and 00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:57.039 You know the people in Greene County here, they 00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:00.620 seem to really pay attention to things as a matter 00:17:00.620 --> 00:17:04.619 of fact Another interesting fact I don't know 00:17:04.619 --> 00:17:07.900 a lot of people know about is the National Weather 00:17:07.900 --> 00:17:11.119 Service is in Wilmington, Ohio, which is a city 00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:14.940 about the size of Xenia. It's south of Xenia, 00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:21.420 maybe 15 miles or so, and it covers the southern 00:17:21.420 --> 00:17:24.799 part of Ohio. Most of it, like if you cut Ohio 00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:29.240 in half and say through Interstate 70 and just 00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:32.539 go south, It covers that Ohio, covers Northern 00:17:32.539 --> 00:17:36.819 Kentucky, and it covers Eastern Indiana. And 00:17:36.819 --> 00:17:39.359 we work closely with them. And as a matter of 00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:44.619 fact, I'm a net control operator because they 00:17:44.619 --> 00:17:47.119 don't laugh far from there. I drive down there 00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:49.799 and I am a net control at the weather station, 00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:53.480 which is pretty interesting. But they focus completely 00:17:53.480 --> 00:18:00.029 on Xenia on when we have the invention. and they 00:18:00.029 --> 00:18:02.890 can let us know they're watching weather move 00:18:02.890 --> 00:18:05.410 in right over that area and they are right there 00:18:05.410 --> 00:18:09.289 with us and they give us notice on when big storms 00:18:09.289 --> 00:18:13.470 are coming through and if we need to take shelter 00:18:13.470 --> 00:18:15.930 or how long the rain is going to last. It's a 00:18:15.930 --> 00:18:19.369 really great relationship we have with that National 00:18:19.369 --> 00:18:22.970 Weather Service on that and that's, I mean that's 00:18:22.970 --> 00:18:25.130 a small tidbit. We got to wait for food a little 00:18:25.130 --> 00:18:29.769 bit to weather. That's why we put in our reservation 00:18:29.769 --> 00:18:32.029 for such great weather for that weekend, you 00:18:32.029 --> 00:18:36.009 know, I know I say that every year and every 00:18:36.009 --> 00:18:39.609 year I get there's a little bit of rain, but 00:18:39.609 --> 00:18:42.630 the rain is basically lately. It's only been 00:18:42.630 --> 00:18:45.210 in the evenings after hours or, you know, maybe 00:18:45.210 --> 00:18:48.150 slight during the day, but you know what, you 00:18:48.150 --> 00:18:50.230 know, what's hand benching without maybe a little 00:18:50.230 --> 00:18:52.150 bit of rain or a little bit. Well, that's true. 00:18:53.030 --> 00:18:55.369 That's true. I think I remember one where there 00:18:55.369 --> 00:18:57.910 was some snow I think we can do without that 00:18:57.910 --> 00:19:01.269 one, but But that was back when it was a little 00:19:01.269 --> 00:19:05.650 earlier in the year but yeah, you know, it's 00:19:05.650 --> 00:19:09.990 gonna happen, but hopefully We'll have plenty 00:19:09.990 --> 00:19:14.190 of clear skies for for most of the weekend Well, 00:19:14.190 --> 00:19:16.630 we're gonna take a break here for just a minute, 00:19:16.630 --> 00:19:18.789 but we're gonna come back and we're gonna talk 00:19:18.789 --> 00:19:26.259 about another change to Hamvention and some other 00:19:26.259 --> 00:19:29.299 things with Michael right after this word from 00:19:29.299 --> 00:19:33.180 Tower Electronics right here on HamTalk Live. 00:19:34.059 --> 00:19:38.500 Hey honey, have you seen the PL 259s anywhere? 00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:44.740 No I haven't.

So breaking news you heard it 00:23:48.069 --> 00:23:50.849 first here on ham talk live there will be an 00:23:50.849 --> 00:23:55.150 app for hamvention brought to you by ARRL and 00:23:55.150 --> 00:23:59.130 we'll tell you more about that, but it's a cool 00:23:59.130 --> 00:24:01.509 little app where you can get the schedule of 00:24:01.509 --> 00:24:04.670 all the forums and Everything that's going on 00:24:04.670 --> 00:24:08.150 related to hamvention. So there will be an app 00:24:08.150 --> 00:24:11.430 this year and So we wanted to let you know about 00:24:11.430 --> 00:24:14.619 that. Well We'll fill in the details later, but 00:24:14.619 --> 00:24:18.339 right now, let's get back to Michael. And we're 00:24:18.339 --> 00:24:21.880 back on HamTalk Live with Michael Coulter, W8CI, 00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:28.039 the Dayton Hamvention spokesperson, and among 00:24:28.039 --> 00:24:32.160 other things, I should say. And I know there's 00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:36.660 one thing that we should address, and I talked 00:24:36.660 --> 00:24:41.460 about it here on the show when it happened. But 00:24:41.460 --> 00:24:45.259 there's a big hole that was left in the Hamvention 00:24:45.259 --> 00:24:49.799 community here recently when Green County Sheriff 00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:55.440 Gene Fisher, KX8GCS, suddenly became a silent 00:24:55.440 --> 00:24:59.759 key. So take a little bit about, talk a little 00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:03.539 bit about what he meant to Dara and to Hamvention 00:25:03.539 --> 00:25:08.880 and just a few minutes to remember him and then 00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:11.660 talk a little bit about how, how you're dealing 00:25:11.660 --> 00:25:16.839 with his absence. Well, that's a tough subject. 00:25:17.940 --> 00:25:21.420 Um, in 2017, when we had our first Hamvention 00:25:21.420 --> 00:25:24.759 and Xenia, I met, that's when I really met Gene. 00:25:25.099 --> 00:25:28.920 And, um, you know, that's, if anybody, I'm sure 00:25:28.920 --> 00:25:32.279 many people recall the very first, uh, Hamvention 00:25:32.279 --> 00:25:36.480 that, you know, I was standing in my fifth wheeler 00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:39.650 there on, on site. got up early and I thought, 00:25:40.269 --> 00:25:42.670 okay, here it is. We've got a whole new site. 00:25:43.029 --> 00:25:45.089 We're changing the invention. What's this gonna 00:25:45.089 --> 00:25:49.109 be like? And then we hear, see all these people 00:25:49.109 --> 00:25:51.210 pouring in and the reports are starting to be 00:25:51.210 --> 00:25:55.930 good except for traffic flow. And traffic became 00:25:55.930 --> 00:25:59.630 a real problem. And so, we're standing around 00:25:59.630 --> 00:26:02.910 and Gene's part of our team and we were talking 00:26:02.910 --> 00:26:05.170 to him and that's when I really got to know him 00:26:05.170 --> 00:26:08.730 more. prior to getting ready for hand invention 00:26:08.730 --> 00:26:15.329 and then when we finally had it. So he decided, 00:26:15.549 --> 00:26:17.609 he says, I'm going to fix this. And then the 00:26:17.609 --> 00:26:20.950 very next day, it was fixed. The traffic flow 00:26:20.950 --> 00:26:24.349 problems were fixed. And then we've not had a 00:26:24.349 --> 00:26:30.289 traffic issue really at all since he became really 00:26:30.289 --> 00:26:34.730 intricately involved. He also became an amateur 00:26:34.730 --> 00:26:40.289 radio operator. I know he got his general and 00:26:40.289 --> 00:26:47.470 he just really loved amateur radio. He would 00:26:47.470 --> 00:26:49.730 come out to my house. I live in Green County 00:26:49.730 --> 00:26:53.869 and he was the sheriff. He'd stop by and just 00:26:53.869 --> 00:26:56.289 want to talk about things. Really, we wouldn't 00:26:56.289 --> 00:26:58.910 talk about sheriff things. We would just talk 00:26:58.910 --> 00:27:02.029 about amateur radio. I put up some new beams 00:27:02.029 --> 00:27:03.910 and lo and behold, he called me and said, I'm 00:27:03.910 --> 00:27:05.819 going to come out and help you. He came out, 00:27:05.940 --> 00:27:09.240 one of the guys, he put this thing up, and then 00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:12.519 he has this idea, he has this vision, and he 00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:16.519 has a vision that he wants to have a 4 -H club 00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:23.900 that amateur radio becomes a centerpiece. And 00:27:23.900 --> 00:27:26.480 so at the extension office, which is located 00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:31.759 at the Fairgrounds Expo Center, He helped install 00:27:31.759 --> 00:27:35.619 the tower. He helped get the money for it. And 00:27:35.619 --> 00:27:37.779 I believe some of the sheriff's fund paid for 00:27:37.779 --> 00:27:42.299 that. And there was a group of different radio 00:27:42.299 --> 00:27:47.019 clubs in the area that donated money. And we 00:27:47.019 --> 00:27:53.000 built, we put these beautiful beam up there and 00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:57.619 nice rotor and radios. And then started building 00:27:57.619 --> 00:28:00.789 the whole shack inside. and then he passed away 00:28:00.789 --> 00:28:05.910 and boy that was just devastating and you know 00:28:05.910 --> 00:28:08.849 we uh it was very hard to deal with it was almost 00:28:08.849 --> 00:28:13.190 unbelievable and so a group of us uh you know 00:28:13.190 --> 00:28:16.349 the day after he died we went over to it's called 00:28:16.349 --> 00:28:20.349 Nick's restaurant which is real close to uh fairgrounds 00:28:20.349 --> 00:28:24.329 and it's a great place to go eat and uh so we 00:28:24.329 --> 00:28:27.849 um sat around and we we toasted Gene, you know, 00:28:27.970 --> 00:28:30.029 as he would, we had a seat set up for him and 00:28:30.029 --> 00:28:33.430 we toasted him and, and, and it was a very, very 00:28:33.430 --> 00:28:37.190 hard day. It was a very difficult time for all 00:28:37.190 --> 00:28:40.589 of us. And, uh, you know, cause he was a relatively 00:28:40.589 --> 00:28:44.730 young guy and he was, he'd go to hamcation with 00:28:44.730 --> 00:28:47.930 us. He'd work the booth booths with us. And, 00:28:47.990 --> 00:28:52.450 um, I mean, he, he was a true ham. He was completely 00:28:52.450 --> 00:28:56.079 in it. And I was over at his house, helped him 00:28:56.079 --> 00:28:59.299 get his equipment gathered and get his beams 00:28:59.299 --> 00:29:04.259 up along with several other guys. And then suddenly 00:29:04.259 --> 00:29:07.720 he passed away. So, you know, we're moving on 00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:10.539 as you do when somebody near and dear to your 00:29:10.539 --> 00:29:15.440 heart passes on. But I think we're always going 00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:18.460 to miss him. And his legend lives on. It really 00:29:18.460 --> 00:29:22.180 truly does. I don't know. Hard to talk about 00:29:22.180 --> 00:29:28.579 it, Neil, because he was a personal friend. It's 00:29:28.579 --> 00:29:30.700 unbelievable to me that we became such good friends 00:29:30.700 --> 00:29:33.359 and we were different in a lot of ways, but then 00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:36.240 again, we shared the common bond of Amish Radio 00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:41.000 and it was really a great opportunity to meet 00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:44.480 and to know him. Absolutely. You introduced me 00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:48.160 to him and we set up a thing for him to come 00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:52.829 on the show.

Well, that's well deserved on 00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:40.519 your part. Let me mention a couple other things 00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:42.679 here. I'm not sure where we're at with time, 00:36:42.699 --> 00:36:46.559 but I do want to mention that at hamvention .org, 00:36:46.750 --> 00:36:49.090 We're starting to make sure that the information 00:36:49.090 --> 00:36:53.789 is getting filled in to the website. And we have 00:36:53.789 --> 00:36:59.929 a list of affiliated events for 2022.

I think 00:37:50.619 --> 00:37:53.539 one of the most exciting things is the flea market 00:37:53.539 --> 00:37:56.719 and getting out in that flea market and then 00:37:56.719 --> 00:37:58.920 you never know what you're going to find there. 00:37:59.179 --> 00:38:01.360 What I like is the saying that says you can't 00:38:01.360 --> 00:38:06.360 find it in Dayton. It ain't around anymore. That's 00:38:06.360 --> 00:38:09.199 pretty much true.

Hand 00:43:48.219 --> 00:43:50.860 sanitizer might be great for your hands, but 00:43:50.860 --> 00:43:53.539 to protect you from viruses that pass through 00:43:53.539 --> 00:44:01.550 your radio, you need ham sanitizer.
