[Milsurplus] Hamfest taxation

[Telegrapher at att.net]

 That may have been the issue here at the Phoenix Antique Radio Club swap meet.  It used to be open to the public and great turnouts.  Then they said if you weren't a member you couldn't sell there.  Most folks didnt know the reason nor did I.  Several years back before the great Flagstaff hamfest went quiet we had a Taxation scare.  Turned out that they were there to make sure the commercial vendors were on the up and up.  Never heard anymore about it.

Better quit here.
