Now that I finally got my feet back on the ground, I can safely look back, so that I can get started scheduling the next one :-)
All in all Dayton was a blast !! I was carried away to be among thousands of like-minded people, not to mention that this trip was my very first trip to States as well as the very first hamfest I ever attended !
I had a ball meeting radiobuddies from all over the world, top-notch radioamateurs that I really look up to (hpe to cu soon Ward !) and it was also my pleasure to meet my CW elmer, the man who inspired me to get my feet wet in real morse code operation and supported me for real, Bob N2OO.
Bob not only had generously shared with me his CW art & craft but we also shared a mouthwatering cheesecake ice-cream (chocolate glazed !) on Saturday afternoon, right after I was told that I had passed my Extra US license exam ! :-))
I will definitely give it a good try to be there next year agn along with the same SV gang: Cliff SV1JG and Mike SV9CVY !!
