Success at Dayton

Once again, this year’s RAC presence at Dayton’s Hamvention (fourth
year in a row after a ten year hiatus) was an overwhelming success.

Over the week-end, hundreds of visitors signed our Guestbook, adding
to the long list from the previous four years.

Numerous amateurs from various countries stopped in and chatted up our
various volunteers and Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) officials on
various topics such as our valuable Club Insurance program, membership
types, Canadian ham operating rules, our band-plan, dx contesting,
call sign policy for foreigners, and more. Many memberships were
renewed and new ones were added as well. The new e TCA membership is
available to US hams at the same cost as to Canadian hams.

RAC seized on this opportunity and distributed information fliers,
TCAs, marketed our TCA advertising program to vendors, and tried to
provide small gifts to each of our members (until we ran out!)

Directors available to answer questions were Derek Hay ve4hay, Bill
Unger, ve3xt, Mitch Mitchel ve6oh, as well as the President, Geoff
Bawden ve4baw, Vice President Glenn Macdonnell ve3xra, former RABC
Officer Norm Rashleigh ve3lc and former Regulatory Affairs Officer
Richard Ferch ve3ki. Former President Dave Goodwin ve3aaq was also on
hand.

“A big thank you is in order for our booth volunteers, staff, as well
as RAC officials who made the trip down and contributed to it’s
success” – says Geoff Bawden, RAC President.

“We are definitely planning on returning for 2015, this venue is a
very valuable opportunity for our organization” – concludes Geoff
Bawden
