 Hamvention 2015: Lots of big prizes this year

Prizes to be awarded at the 2015 Dayton Hamvention have exceeded
$55,000 and additional donations are still coming in. This according
to Tom Holmes, N8ZM who is serving as the 2015 Prize Committee
chairman.

Holmes says the total for major prizes thus far is $27,588 and smaller
prizes at $27,502 almost match that amount.

Several transceivers highlight the major prizes. These include an
IC-7600 and ID 5100A from ICOM America; three TS-590G's from Kenwood
USA, a FTDX 1220 and a FT 450D from Yaesu USA and a DX-SR9T from
Alinco. The biggest prize in physical size is a US Tower HDX-555 55
foot crank up tower.

About 100 vendors have contributed prizes so far. Holmes notes that
some of the hourly prizes may also be substantial and represent a
broad spectrum of items of interest to hams.

Drawings will be held hourly during Hamvention and winning numbers are
posted at the Prize Booth in the Main Arena and on monitors throughout
the HARA Arena complex. The drawing for the major prizes takes place
at the close of Hamvention.
