We had a large group representing
KARS
at the 1999 Dayton HAMVENTION®.
Below are many photos taken at Dayton.
This is a shot of the
main exhibit floor,
but this is only a very
small portion of the
total indoor flea market
space at Dayton.
Another shot of the main
arena from the east.
A tower full of antennas,
complete with
tri-band beam take up
only a small spot
in this massive ham radio
exhibit.
This was taken at the
outdoor fleamarket at HamVention.

N9IO and Joe WB2HOL.
Joe is showing one of
the "Tape Measure"
hand held yagi antenna

This speaker was part
of the US ARDF
team during the games
in Hungary showing
one of the Russian made
ARDF yagis.
This is American astronaut and geophysicist
Owen Kay Garriott, W5LFL.
Briefly, HamVention guest speaker Garriott
spent 59 days aboard the Skylab III space
station from July 28 until Sept. 25, 1973.
Garriott was part of Space Shuttle flight nine,
in Columbia on Nov. 28 - Dec. 8, 1983,
which carried the first Spacelab.
Garriott was the first to operate
amateur "ham" radio from on board a
Space Shuttle vehicle in Columbia.

We had a wonderful time
and are planning another
joint hospitality suite
during Hamvention 2000...
DON'T MISS THE NEXT ONE!!!!!!!!!!
FYI,
HamVention 2000 is going to be the
National
Convention of the ARRL.
This
will certainly be an historic
event
that you won't want to miss!
ARRL
will be transmitting as W1AW / 8.
All
amateurs will get a chance to
operate
from that historic site.
Till next year, 73' from Dayton HamVention 1999...
