I've heard the same thing echoed from many

hams. I've known hams who have religiously

made the trek to Dayton every year, and now

talk of this being their "last year". I guess it's a

shell of its former self. Talk like this is certainly
not making me want to experience it again any
time soon.

The writing is on the wall. Shelby hammiefest in NC gasped its last
breath, also.

I was sad when the CB Coffee Breaks (or Jamborees) pretty much died.

Same here, we used to have a yuck it up ball at those, back in the day.


That's one of my most fold memories of the 70's CB boom. Some of the
"breaks" were pretty large and a ton of fun. The best one in my area
was held at a small local amusement park, which was great for us
teenaged kids at the time.

There were always vendors hawking their latest equipment and
accessories. Then there were those guys selling amps out of their
trunks ;-)...

They had a big one monthly at the local ponderosa steak house near
here..same deal with the bootleg trunk sales. There was always the rumor
that 'Charlie' was in town too. g
