Thank you to everyone who responded to my Dayton request. My next step in my Dayton adventure will be to "get on the list". I am a new kid on the block with regards to satellites. For 50 years I kept thinking that it was impossible for me to work through a satellite. One day I got up enough nerve to try. OMG, talk about excited. My first contact through AO-51 (R.I.P.) was better than my first novice contact in 1961 when I was 11 years old. I have good shoes but I'm afraid I will need a scooter due to some serious nerve issues. HA, HA, reserved that too. I am dressed up (official AMSAT shirt and name badge too) and ready to go.

I am planning to attend the Dayton Hamfest. I have my Hamfest tickets, airline tickets, payed for the banquet, and I have sent Martha my credit card number for a room. I will be attending all three days and would like to volunteer in the AMSAT booth. Did I miss a signup sheet for volunteering or has one not been started? I am excited as this is my first time to visit Dayton.
