Garriotts attend Dayton Hamvention

Over the weekend of May 15-17, Richard Garriott, W5KWQ and Owen Garriott, W5LFL both attended Dayton Hamvention 2009 and graced the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT) and American Radio Relay League (ARRL) booths.

Tens of thousands of people were continuously buzzing with excitement regarding the father and son visit. Both of them did a phenomenal job at the various forums, press briefings, and banquets.

Richard winning this year's Hamvention Special Achievement Award was appropriate given all he did for amateur radio during his 10 day stay on the ISS.
