This was my first NRC convention and I had a WONDERFUL  time.
The tours talks etc were all interesting but the best part was meeting all 
the great people. There. we're four I had met before so most folks were new 
to me. Just super to meet folks so I could put a name to a face
Also thanks to Nick Hall-Patch for taking time to show and explain SDR to me
I have one on my have to have list now

Good crowd!  It was nice to meet new folks and to swap lies.  Great to see 
familiar faces and renew ongoing discussions.  From comments heard around 
the room, the car tours and station visits were âokay.â  The tech talk 
sessions had lots of good pics and video and some new understandings...and 
the audio was a disaster. (Murphy had been sleeping in the meeting room when 
we checked out the A-V Friday but was wide-awake Saturday morning.)

Dinner was excellent; the post-munching remarks by Kansas Cityâs premier 
newsman Dan Verbeck were impactful and heartfelt and gave those of us jaded 
with radio some reasons to be more optimistic (at least about radio news).

It was moving to me to see how we as a group helped our Blind friends 
navigate and interpret.

The âD-KAZ-wiki groupâ from IRCA (Hall-Patch, Kazaross, Whitacre, 
Durenberger) erected and operated a full-blown D-KAZ antenna in the back 
yard (a thanks to the hotel for their tolerance of our temporary 
playground).  We were even able to attract veteran DX-er Glenn Hauser...who 
was kind enough to avoid shaking his head over our layout.

(Clean) audio and pics/videos from the activities will be posted shortly.


Cheers!

Mark Durenberger
