VOA AND WC8VOA AT HAMVENTION 2015

The West Chester Amateur Radio Association and the VOA Museum were represented at Hamvention 2015 in Dayton, Ohio, May 15-17.  This is the world's largest gathering of amateur radio operators.  The ARRL (the country's largest amateur radio organization) invited the West Chester Amateur Radio Association to bring their STEM display used on pi day (see previous post).  The display was set up in the ARRL area at Hamvention.  The VOA Museum also had another booth provided by the Dayton Amateur Radio Association in the north hall to attract attention and visitors to the museum.  Numerous club members and museum volunteers staffed the booths for the three day event.  We all enjoyed talking to hundreds of Hamvention 2015 attendees.
