Way too short notice and nothing in North America is as big as the
Dayton Hamvention.

Of course ...... They should have waited until after the Dayton Hamvention to
do their road work and construction.  How could they interfere with the single
 largest weekend convention to come to the Dayton area!  The only thing bigger
is a week long gun show.

Well, they could combine Hamvention with the QRP-ARCI FDIM (fdim.qrparci.org)
at the QRP Hotel (rooms.qrparci.org) in Fairborn, OH !!!! !!   !!!! !!
 But, no, I don't believe there is another venue in the Dayton area that would
accommodate the Hamvention for the same costs.
