Sure, I have attended several Pacific Division ARRL Conventions
- each one has had its peculiar screwups ... one of those I don't
think they'll ever catch on to.
I have attended a few Southwest Division ARRL Conventions ...
one I attended in the early seventies, was as mis-matched as I
couldn't believe. I lived out of town - and had to direct traffic
via the radio as the hosts seemed to be out of contact with what
should have been going on. Overall, it was good convention anyway.
Part of the problem was the hosts were planning on several hundred
attendees ... not the 1700 - 1800 who finally showed up. The
banquet was originally sold at 700? tickets, another 600 or so
bought banquet tickets the day of the convention - Saturday.
I have never attended the Dayton event - and at this point in my
life, probably never will as my garage is too full now.
Life at your local convention / hamfest is as good as you make it.
