some videos from 2014 Dayton Hamvention weekend
Hi!
I just went through and uploaded the videos I made from last weekend's Dayton Hamvention. First, Paul N8HM working SO-50 on Friday (16 May) morning at 1431 UTC:

Michael KD8QBA, part of the MO-76 ($50Sat, Eagle-2) team, was around the AMSAT demonstration station during several passes from his group's satellite. This video was one of those passes, Friday afternoon at 1638 UTC:

Back to Paul N8HM on the microphone, working AO-7 Friday afternoon at 2013 UTC:

Yes, it was raining hard Friday afternoon, which wiped out the audience watching this pass. This was a difficult pass to work, but Paul (and the rest of us braving the rain) stuck it out.
My final video has Paul N8HM working AO-73 on Sunday (18 May 2014) afternoon at 1602 UTC:

The weather was much better on Sunday than earlier in the weekend.
I know there are other videos on YouTube from the AMSAT station, including one where I'm working SO-50 during the 1345 UTC pass Sunday morning (thanks N8HM):

I have just uploaded my QSOs from this pass, and the other passes I worked on Sunday and Monday (19 May) at the Hamvention and other locations, to the Logbook of the World. The QSOs I made on Thursday (15 May) through Saturday have already been uploaded to LOTW.
Paul N8HM uploaded a video of his Kenwood TH-D7 HT, showing the APRS traffic on 144.390 MHz on the Thursday (15 May) night in the Dayton area before the start of the Hamvention:

This video is a perfect example of how the 144.390 MHz frequency was, during the entire weekend. Day or night, signals were being transmitted on that frequency non-stop.
Edward Raybould N8OIF posted a couple of videos as well. First, a video where Keith W5IU is at the radio during an HO-68 pass to demonstrate the Doppler effect:

Keith W5IU is working AO-73 on Saturday (17 May 2014):

There may be others up there now, and more coming soon - including (I hope) videos from the AMSAT Forum on Saturday. :-)
73!
