Hi Eric,
I went to Dayton back in the 90's and found it a lot of fun.  I was living 
in the Northern Kentucky area which is about 50 to 75 miles from Dayton.  So 
I got to talk to a lot of local people.  When I lived in Northern Kentucky I 
was able to hit one of the dayton machines.  I think it was the 145.10 
Repeater I think it was.  to the best of my memory they all so had a 146.94 
repeater that I got into on ocasion.  So it was a lot of fun going to the 
ham fest there.  by the way, field day can be a lot of fun all so I went to 
the local field day this year.  I got there about 6:30  p.m. and stayed to 
7:30 a.m the next morning.  I found out later when I invited some one to 
come and speak at a session at the  state convention of the Kentucky councel 
of the blind that  a picture of my Leader Dog Annabelle and I at field day 
was on there web sight.  That might be my only clame to fame.(smile).
