Orlando. A Crime ridden tourist town. Last Hamfest I went to was in Miami when the Dade Radio Club held them and used gear and real good junk was affordable. After the Hamcation Orlando started the local hamfests dried up. And Ebay is keeping prices high but has made stuff available that would not ordinarily be found in a local Hamfest. I dont expect to ever attend Hamcation for these reasons.

Beginner basic Ht's as door prizes for guys who have been hams for 30-50 years, many extra class?

[@spurious_emissions]

Good observation. I noticed as the price screen scrolled how many of those there were. A 30-50 year extra class ham probably has a pretty good collection going now.

[@thebrain4239]

Then they have to lie about 30 thousand attendance's Maby 10 k at the most..

[@thebrain4239]
