On another note, I really think that it is time that DARA start looking
at another venue for the Hamfest. Yes, there is a lot to be said for
tradition, but in the 6 or so years I've been going, the Hara arena has
deteriorated quite a bit.

Well, I have a few more years than you; and yes, Hara is getting
old, as we all are....

But there's nowhere anywhere nearby with the indoor+outdoor space
the Hamvention uses. If/when the Wampler family [ISTM that's their
name..] sells out to developers, the Hamvention may well be history...

Well, there IS Salem Mall for outdoor space... it's got a lot more than
it used to. And, IIRC, there's an abandoned Walmart not too far from there.
