I saw that and I don't know what the point was they were trying to
make.


Didn't see that. But as a Japanese owned company, they have a different
culture, and some of the things they do might seem a little different

Well all of the people there, at the Hamvention, were American.

Maybe not. I heard one old couple speaking German.


And I saw several people wearing hats/badges/etc from various European
countries.

I wonder
if the girls were some of their kids and that was a way to take them
along
and have Icom foot the bill?

Nobody gets it. They should hire a USA advertising firm and run that
sort of thing past them first.


I'd agree with that.

Are you kidding? They've gotten more ink in this newsgroup than any of the

So far nobody seems to have any idea what the the point was they were
trying to communicate. I sure don't, but at least Icom donated some
equipment for prizes.
