[FLham] Ham FESTs near Tampa?

[David Colburn]

Point is that when one is looking over 20 or 30 upcoming Fleas and Fests,=
=20
wasting time searching them all out on maps seems unnecessary when a simp=
le=20
phrase from the promoters would eliminate any confusion.

I cannot speak for anyone else but it is a challenge to squeeze the hobby=
 into=20
a very busy schedule, every little bit of help a promoter of a Fest/Flea =
can=20
offer makes it all the more likely I and others like me will attend ... I=
 =20
often just exclude the events I do not already know to be nearby.

Last I knew we are a "communication hobby".  Effective communication is a=
bout=20
getting the necessary information to the intended receiver.  If I have to=
 do=20
half the work for the promoter he/she is a poor communicator.
