Mike, AEØMW gave a nice overview of the 2017 Hamvention.  The location was new this year as the Hamvention moved to Xenia Ohio, just south of Dayton at the County Fairgrounds.  Blessed with an amazing amount of rain the visitors managed to slog through the less than perfect grassy/mud lanes.  The message that Mike gave was how well the sponsors of the Hamvention worked to alleviate these issues and that many of this year’s shortcomings will be rectified by next year.  All in all he was left with a very favorable impression.

The evening began with voting for DMRAA officers and board members.  All of the present board and officers have agreed to remain and a voice vote approved their retention.
