That's right. For Real. Click this link for my brother the defense attorney, as in New York City criminal lawyer.

This is one Hudson Valley architect you won't have to convince about the importance of integrating amateur radio with your residential design. He understands the difference between a shack and a shack. And one reason is, he's another brother.

Not bad for a no-show, eh gang?

From our Dayton distant shack, 2012 is shaping up to be the Year of the Dog-Faced Ham, thanks in no small part to the indulgence of some of amateur radio's most prestigious outfits and high-profile ops.

Jeff K1NSS ham comic banner art will be hangin' with the Big Dogs at RF Concepts' flash cool Alpha display in the main exhibition hall, touting new products like Alpha's insanely tunable 4040 auto antenna tuner, pus special Hamvention deals.

Dash! will make a cameo appearance in the Friday Banquet main event presentation by Rockwell Collins Museum curator Lawrence Robinson for the CCA, all about Collins ARC's radio restoration of "FIFI," the last flying B-29 Superfortress -- a project for which we're providing low altitude support as team Graphics Grunt.

And if you run into ARRL Editor Ward Silver, N0AX, ask him all about his new ham noir detective novelette Zone of Iniquity, cover and book design Jeff K1NSS -- featuring Old Man radio detective Ray Tracy, the hard-boiled ham P.I. with a soft touch and a quick fist.

What more, our peripatetic Dash!DX Proxy postcard is dispatched to Dayton for appearances here there and everywhere about the Hamvention.

Stay tooned. We hope to bring you special reports from our loose network of Hamvention insiders, wiseguys and rogue stirring sticks -- just the sort of hams your Elmer warned you against because they didn't take A-1 Operator Club certs seriously, never wiped that Low Down DX Hound's Smirk off their faces and always seemed to be having more fun with radio than a well-rounded Eagle Scout ought to have. To them and all Dayton Denizens, we wish a wonderful time and raise a toast to Next Year!
