Friday, May 19 through Sunday, May 21 2006: FAIRS AT DAYTON HAMVENTION 2006
FAIRS Directors David KK4WW and Gaynell KK4WWW Larsen and Ukrainian DXer Helen Goncharsky (US call KT4RP) represented the foundation at Hamvention 2006. Once again, we were allowed a booth (#346) for indoor exhibit, which was wonderful exposure for FAIRS and the goodwill projects it is involved in. Helen brought many types of Ukrainian crafts, the sale of which raised funds for FAIRS and attracted visitors to the booth.
“Amateur Radio is Public Service” was the theme for this year’s Hamvention and it was an outstanding experience:
--Helen thoroughly enjoyed the DX Forums (she met amateur radio operators she had contact with over the years from Ukraine) and the flea market;
--David was able to purchase some old classics and some modern pieces…he was happy with the treasures he found;
--Gaynell enjoyed the friendly greetings of fellow hams and the DX dinner. She was a hard worker, manning the booth during exhibition hours with very few breaks.

It was wonderful to meet again with many FAIRS members from around the country. We love the enthusiasm of amateur radio operators and are thankful for the public service they have provided in many areas of our nation during the past year!
