Amateur Radio Clubs Worldwide: The Lifeline

'Amateur Radio Clubs Worldwide: The Lifeline' will be the theme of the 2010 Dayton Hamvention slated for next May 14th to the 16th at the Hara Arena in Dayton, Ohio, Amateur Radio Newsline reports.

According to Asst. General Chairman Michael Kalter, W8CI, we all recognize how much amateur radio clubs and organizations contribute to the service. This is especially true in the way clubs pull together in disasters, field days, contests, working with youth, teaching classes, and
sponsoring hamfests. And says Kalter there are parts of the world where a ham radio club truly is the communication link to the world.

In order to help celebrate the world of radio clubs, Hamvention planners are asking for pictures from radio clubs around the world that it can use on the front and back cover of the Hamvention 2010 program magazine. It is also looking for stories of interest from interesting radio clubs as well.

In other Hamvention related news, Kalter says that all of our volunteer committee chairs and their assistants are in place for 2010 and have been meeting to make this the best Hamvention you have ever attended.

He also notes that the organizations new online program for taking and tracking orders is up and running. He notes that many hours have been spent since the close of Hamvention 2009 to make all of these necessary improvements.
