DX Hamvention Theme for Hamvention(r) 2013   
      
   When the Dayton Hamvention(r) opens May 17, 2013, at Hara Arena for its   
   sixty-second consecutive year the theme, "DX Hamvention" will reflect an   
   important part of ham radio, the distant contact, according to Charles   
   Kaiser, KD8JZR, General Chairman for the event. "Hamvention is often an   
   important DX destination for amateurs from all over the globe. Working DX is   
   often a mix of magic, conditions, and the diligent application of radio   
   theory", Kaiser said.   
      
   Kaiser, who served as assistant general chairman last year, noted that many   
   attendees to return each year to Dayton to meet other hams that they have   
   talked to on the radio. "The quest for that distant contact advances Amateur   
   Radio on many levels so the Hamvention team is honoring DX in all of its   
   forms this year!" Kaiser said.   
      
   Kaiser also announced that, Jim Tiderman, N8IDS, will serve as his assistant   
   chairman for 2013. "He has been active in Hamvention for many years and   
   brings a natural leadership style to the Hamvention Team. I will be asking   
   Jim to lead many important responsibilities to enhance the event. It also   
   very important to note our team is all volunteer and we continue to work in   
   the spirit of collaboration," Kaiser said.   
      
   A number of key vendors have already committed to returning to Hamvention(r)   
   which the Dayton/Montgomery County Convention & Visitors Bureau estimates   
   produces an economic impact of about $4 million for Montgomery County and   
   nearly $10 million regionally. Hamvention(r), the world's largest amateur   
   radio gathering, brings about 25,000 people to the greater Dayton area. The   
   three-day event includes exhibits, a flea market, forums, education sessions   
   and license exams.
