I think hamfest attendance is down everywhere for the same reasons that most convention attendance is down (Orlando is a convention town and living here, I see the drop off).
Flea markets.... why wait for a flea market when sales go fast on the internet. Forums.... read about this content the next day after it happens or is released... on the internet. New products.... sell it on ur web site, fast. Meeting old friends.... the last reason to go and the best.... but maybe we need more meet-and-greet sessions? Older people travel less. June is better because school is out more likely. But, I sure do like hamfests.... 73 Charles Harpole [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think you have a point, Charlie. We OTs are less flexible and prefer more comfort ! At least this old fart does ! hi Jetlag has become a problem with age too so I must admit I prefer travelling South or North , pretty much in the same time zone. I admire people like yourself travelling half way around the world to visit in-laws ! 73 rag la5he Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, dx-chat@njdxa.org This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org
