[FLham] Alternative to Absurd Ham Flea Start Times?

I have spoken to lots of Hams and they collectively say that they 
do not understand why these things are scheduled to start at such 
absurd times.

To attend a 7AM Flea in Largo means that I have to get up at 
5:30 or 5:45AM on a Saturday ... forget it!

Perhaps if someone gets creative and starts theirs later in the day 
they'd pick up all of us who won't bother traveling to these small Fleas 
at a more reasonable hour (like 9 or 10 am) because we know that all 
of the decent stuff is gone and some of the sellers are too!

How about a group of Ham Fleas across Central FL that switch to a 
later start -- perhaps 10AM?

Call it The Sleepy Ham Flea Association or something?
