This appears to be 'dead on". There are those rare items that I look for
at a Hamfest, But like many I am sure, when a need comes to mind, it's off
to e-bay. I will go to Hamcom in Dallas because it is only a 4 hour drive.
I hope to sell a couple of items that were taken to Dayton by a good friend
but did not sell, and I will be looking for a killer bargain on a
FT-920(yes, I have already been watching e-bay), BUT the thing I am
primarily looking for is the opportunity to visit with old as well as new
friends. I believe the small, close Hamfests will survive, but the large
ones may be doomed for the reasons Charles has outlined. Too much cost
(gasoline)for too little benefit.
