ARRL National Convention - July 17th - 19th 2014

[N1API]

We had a blast. (Mel is a hoot, you got to spend some time with him and see for yourself!). And it was good to see Rob again. I enjoyed meeting many of the members that I talk to and some that (for propagation reasons don't), and all the interested people that stopped by.

On behalf of Mel thanks to the following for their help this weekend

KD5DE - Mel
N1API - Al
VE9KM - Rob
K1PU - Mark
N1ZN - Jim

IF I've forgotten anyone sorry, please let me know so that I can correct the list!

There were over 150 guests who signed the guest book. We did a number of renewals and also took donations for the scholarship fund, (a great showing for that). There were many non members who expressed an interest in collecting their numbers and we promoted the QSO party in two weeks. According to Mel this convention was a resounding success.

I'm sure that Mel will have the full report and numbers in his next President's message. If you were there and took pictures please send them to the new 10-10 Newsletter Editor.

Also to K1PU / K1WJL for the web page and Key Klix
