I have had radio QSO's with a few more.

Two who I have met are perma banned. One has not frequented here in over 3 years. The other had better watch out. They are ready to ban your act.

Well, let's see...

Amongst the regular crew:

KB3LAZ
N8YX & the ever lovely 'DSG
W1GUH, who really enjoyed visiting Station Square & Downtown Pittsburgh
WA6MHZ

Amongst the many visitors and semi-regulars:
I've known KB3LIX for a long time from WACOM activities, pre-dates his visiting the Island.
N3LLR only dropped in for a short time, but he's another long time friend.
A handful of other short-timers & visitors who primarily frequent over yonder.
And then there's that induhvidual from Punxy. Although it was literally an "eye ball" -- I saw him, he never saw me, and I never introduced myself (he was busy pontificating his wisdom at the time)

I know I'm missing a few, but that's all that comes to mind right now.

A bunch:

Ron, Kelli, Tom, Travis, Tim, Jason, Janet, Pat ('mhz), Ryan, Steve...and those are just the people who readily come to mind. I've bumped into a number of others at various radio-related events.

Come to Breezeshooters next June, and I'll make it up to you. No, I won't buy you a burger, but I'll cook you one!

Mike-KK4AMI who I really enjoyed meeting, and hope makes the Richmond festival again this year.
...and of course Luke-AD4MG, to which any close proximity quickly results in the "perfect party storm". ;)

I'll be at the Frostfest (http://www.rats.net/j/index.php/frostfest-home) this year if anyone's willing to take any chances. :lol:
(I'm the hippy-looking dude with the clean clothes)

Oh, and I know "The Undertaker" fairly well. He frequented a AR club I was involved with for a few years. Got volumes of WTF there. :yes:

On this site, um..4 I think. All of which on more than one occasion. On the zed, 70 or so. Non active on either site, hundreds.

Having been to Dayton, the timing didn't work out several times for me. I missed GUH and TB.

When were you there?

We've attended every year since 2005 with the exception of 2010.

Add Happy_Hamer to the eyeball list-briefly at the Hamvention this year.

I have been to the last two events. I survived the volcanic crap. Saw Ron there in 2012. Brought N8WTF with me this last time. We had a blast.

Let me know if you're attending this year. 'DSG's birthday falls around that time and we usually have fun celebrating it on Friday.

I doubt I will make it this year. Too far off. I doubt I will be able to get away.

Not to derail the thread (much), but FWIW, I plan to be at Dayton in 2013. My "base of operations" in the flea market will again be the WACOM booths... there's quite a bit of membership overlap between WASH & WACOM, so we do things like this quite often.

And speaking of the, ah, volcanic crap... I was in the flea market when the, ah, eruption took place. I'm just glad I was wearing my hiking boots, not sneakers or tennis shoes, or they would have been ruined! Dodged most of it, helped one or two vendors move tables quickly out of the way, which was about all you could do... "yuck" doesn't begin to cover it...
