2011 Dayton Hamvention® Forums - A Great Line-up for 2011!
Hamvention® is proud to bring you another superb line-up of forums for this year’s show. The forums are created and presented by amateur radio operators This is a great chance to meet some of the innovators that continue to push the technological envelope and improve ham radio, and to learn from the people who are finding interesting ways to use amateur radio, and to see how the ARRL and other entities are working hard to protect our spectrum and preserve our hobby from external and internal threats.
Highlights this year include:
Author Lisa Spahr - Will be providing insight into her inspiration
to write her book “World War II Radio Heroes: Letters of Compassion.”
Her book was inspired by her discovery of her grandfathers memorabilia in a
trunk in the attic of her Pennsylvania home. Lisa will present her story and
will be available for a book signing after the Forum. See some of Lisa’s
story on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4ibnro1QAk

This is just a few of the many fine forums we are offering this year on many hot topics. Our thanks an appreciation to the moderators and presenters who work long hours putting together these forums, securing speakers, creating slide shows and then coming all the way to Dayton, Ohio to present their information in front of an audience and share their knowledge! The forums staff, moderators, and speakers, like everyone at Hamvention® are volunteers. Make sure you thank them when you get a chance.
Admission is first come first served. There are no tickets and some of the forums can be standing room only or may be limited for safety.
