It would be trivially easy for me to go, since I'm in Columbus this
week. But I looked through a couple of the Dayton threads on QRZ.com and
now find myself wondering why anyone ever goes. It looks and sounds like
the opposite of fun.

Because there's too much to see, or because you think there isn't enough?

The closest I got to Dayton was Rochester NY, and that was pretty big
forty years ago. Local ones can be fun, but they can also be limited,
since only locals attend. A regional one, like Dayton (or is that more
like a "national hamfest"?) brings in so many that it just increases
attendance. You may not get to everything, but if you were looking for
something exotic, it's more likely to be there.
