[AMRadio] hamfest?

[Mike Sawyer]

HAMCATION and Deerfest are two of the exceptions I was referring to. 
Timonium, Gaithersburg, and MURGAS, just to name a few, fell into despair. 
Timonium and MURGAS, in an effort to attract other shoppers, (which may have 
begun the bleeding), turned to a 'flea style' hamfest. Gaithersburg lost its 
venue which is a shame because it had very little in the way of commercial 
dealers. Everything was tailgate. Although I haven't been there in a while, 
Berryville, VA I hear is still holding on but just by threads. Butler was 
always good but I haven't been there in sometime. I don't know, how is 
Rochester, NY holding out?

fans

and little if any of what Bernie described
