[SFDXA] Attendance

[Mickey Baker]

The move of the Dayton Hamvention® from Hara Arena could impact attendance
- Hamcation, with an urban location, a community capacity to accommodate
attendees with ease, warm winter weather and broad vendor support could be
THE amateur radio event to attend in short order.

Great hamfest, no driving 20 miles from a hotel to the venue, and a growing
schedule of seminars make it a very attractive event!
