    Things to check out *in Dayton during Hamvention

    Posted by KE8HNK on 2024-03-06 at 15:23

    If you are like us and make it a family trip to the Dayton Hamvention here are some of the favorite things to do especially if you plan properly here are our favorites…..

    Carillion park:

    A great place to check out and learn the industrial and aviation history of Ohio and Dayton. Also has one of the Wright brothers planes on display.

    Dayton Airforce Museum:

    Not much explanation needed but plan some time (about 5 hours) to get a basic tour.

    Packard Museum:

    Classic cars and some awesome folks who run it Downtown Dayton in a old Packard Dealership

    Voice Of America:

    About a 45 minute drive to see and well worth the small fee to see some vintage radios and radio history

    Dayton Univeristy:

    If you have kids who maybe near collage age make a stop here and check out (they will give you a great tour of the campus)

    Now all of these attractions charge a small fee and it helps to keep them operating for about $100.00 (last 2 years costs) you can learn, enjoy and have even more fun. Just a few of our favorite places to visit and enjoy. ~73 KE8HNK

      Yup… big pads, new pads, the new posters, the new **free** door hangers, and a couple of surprises.

    Many ham groups, such as DX clubs, national nets and special interest groups have their own “sideshows” in and around the area during Hamvention.

    I’m planning on attending the QRP ARCI’s Four Days in May get together at the Fairborn Holiday Inn. They’ll have talks and forums. Also vendors and club nights. Contests, prizes and dinners.

    I’m taking a break from the “big show” this year, even tho I live in the same county. Wears me out too much! The air conditioned hotel with complimentary lunch is enough for me.

    Another great place to check out is Yellow Springs, a few miles north of Xenia.

    It’s a village that has fantastic little shops and restaurants. It’s a great place to get a start on your Christmas shopping. Your XYL will definitely enjoy the experience and vibes!

Contains abusive or derogatory content
Bias is a tendency to favor or lean towards one perspective, person, or group, often at the expense of another. Bias can be conscious or unconscious (implicit) and can influence judgment, decision-making, and behavior. Unlike prejudice, which is explicitly about preconceived notions, biases can be more subtle and can even occur without the individual being fully aware of them. Bias is broader and can be positive or negative, affecting various aspects of life like decision-making in work, preferences in social settings, etc. Bias is basically a difference of opinion and that must be respected. Prejudice, however, refers to negative, preconceived opinions or attitudes held by an individual or group towards another group or individual, often without factual basis or experience. Prejudices are usually harmful, leading to unfair treatment or discrimination. They are often based on stereotypes and can be about race, gender, religion, nationality, or any other distinguishing characteristic. Prejudice is more about feelings and attitudes. Ham Community does not tolerate prejudice. We are all different, that's fine. Remember, duty and honor are built on respect. Use this reporting category sparingly and only if you are quite certain that the member is being openly and hurtfully prejudiced.
