Even though a few more tickets were officially sold over last year, I would guess that the flea market was down at least 25%. Certainly, the weather did not cooperate, especially on Saturday. Flea was down a bit. However, I noticed that there was more radio stuff compared to last year. Quality was up a bit. I also noted a few of those vendors bailing early. The solution to that should be simple. I would note that this has become a flea market trend, ham or otherwise. Is eBay permanenetly eroding into the Hamvention fleamarket? I think otherwise. It's a cycle. The biggest problem extending from Ebay now is that some people seem to think that their old junk is worth more than new stuff Good foreign attendance this year, with hams from the UK,Canada, Germany, and of course, Japan. I managed to stop by the new Fair Radio store in Lima and was amazed at the size of the place over the old location. Naturally, Japanese hams were there to survey anything made by Collins. What is the deal with that stuff anyhow? It can't be "worth" what people are paying for it. Will you return next year? Comments welcome. Of course, I had a great time. |

None of which I want. The Signal/One CX7A that I am bringing back to life is one of possibly 400 radios of that type. I can use these radios, talk to folk about them and with them, and send out QSL cards with pictures of my old radios. de ah6gi/4 |
