>> Got back from Dayton Sunday.  Was a nice hamfest at least WX wise.   The 
>> 'Great
>>Sewer Explosion of 2011" is one for the books though.  That and  the lack 
>>of
>>good AC in the arena area would be enough to make me relocate next  year. 
>>The
>>other 5 fellows I was with, Carl W4RCW, Ron WB4OQL, Ken W4HKZ,  George 
>>W4BUW and
>>Bill N4TIC, all said they thought the flea market prices were  pretty good 
>>for a
>>change.  Thought R&L electronics was a little remiss  in that, considering 
>>this
>>is somewhat of an international event also, they had  no one that had even 
>>a
>>rudimentary knowledge of Spanish, and there was a  Brazilian fellow trying 
>>to
>>buy the whole enchilada, but nobody could understand  him.
>>
>> I think there ought to be 3 hamfests though.  The Friday  hamfest is for 
>> all
>>the people who walk around and talk to the person they are  with about how 
>>they
>>had one of those, pointing to the thing on your table, and  then tell them 
>>what
>>a piece of junk it is.  Then walk off in conversation  with no comment to 
>>you.
>>Saturday should be reserved for the folks that  look at your stuff, tell 
>>you
>>what a piece of junk it is, and tell you how they  fixed it. One fellow 
>>gave me
>>a ration about not having a connector for an old  car radio, and how you 
>>would
>>not be able to find one anywhere.  I told he  he was a ham, solder some 
>>wires to
>>it and use it, besides, why do you think it  is only marked at $10. 
>>Sunday
>>should be for buyers.
