I have noticed that attendance is down a LOT at the hamfests around my area
(Chicago)...
After talking to some of the vendors, I have to agree that it is becoming
more of a "coffee-klatch" where old farts get together and shoot the bull
rather go to buy boat anchors. Even the commercial vendors have virtually
all pulled out.
In fact, at the DuPage fest, I actually had to ask guys to please move out
of the way of one vendor's display so I could at least get to it to view
what was being presented for sale -- these guys (5 of them) had decided to
chat right in the middle of the aisle.
Now I don't mind having a chat or two with guys I haven't seen for a while,
but let's do it away from (and not block) where other people are trying to
do business.
Sorry - soapbox mode off.
