Response to our supposed “banning” from Dayton Hamvention has been fast and furious. We’ve gotten a few reports of people sending letters to the Dayton executive. Pending permission from the authors, we’ll re-print these letters here. Look for those on future updates.
As Bryan promised on the Hamsexy Radio News, here’s how to voice your concern with the Dayton executive:
The Chair of Dayton Hamvention is Gary Des Combes N8EMO, and his e-mail address is chair@hamvention.org
The Asst. Chair is Jim Nies Wx8F, and his e-mail address is achair@hamvention.org
The Inside Booths Chair is Jon Thuermer KB8SRQ, and his e-mail address is exhibits@hamvention.org
The Ombudsmen are Ron Morefield, W8ILC and Rubin Meeks W8GUC, and their e-mails are ombudsman@hamvention.org
The Media Chairman is Bill Pasternak WA6ITF and his e-mail address is media@hamvention.org
Feel free to CC other people. Others who have CC’ed us messages have sent letters to local Ohio media, the Dayton Chamber of Commerce, Dayton City Council, local government officials, evem local businesses, letting them know that Dayton stands to lose if they let the opinions and views of one person dictate their policy on who they let put a booth up.
Please, and I cannot stress this enough – be POLITE and PROFESSIONAL in your letters. Nothing will nullify our cause faster than some idiot spouting off a bunch of cuss wods and threats. As well, please CC or BCC us if you choose to write anyone – we will ONLY publish your letter on this site if you give your express permission.
Lets show them that we care!! Write your letter today!!
(edit: Goofed up on some code.. it’s fixed now)
