I disagree with that headcount. After attending the Hamvention since 1981 
(missed a couple of years), I think that the attendance was much less than 
that.  Ticket numbers don't tell the whole story, unless you count each one, 
not just  look at the highest number of all tickets sold.  They were many 
empty spaces both inside and outside.  Even when it rained, the halls were 
not crowded.  Some vendors told me that sales were disappointing.  One 
regular attendee told me that he lost money.
I attended some forums that drew good crowds (i.e., DX, contests  and 
antennas).
My  2 cents.
73,
