Ad> W8CI, reports that 700 volunteers are working to get the event ready.

You know,I love going to hamfest any time I'm in the area and have the time-off from work to enjoy it, but the thing that leave the most sourest taste in my mouth when I hear about the Dayton Hamfest, is when I order an antennae, or other ham radio gear at a company, and they tell me they're low on stock due to the Dayton Hamfest coming up in the next week or two. It kinda make me wish that the company that reserved so many products for Dayton that they can't handle their normal customers online doesn't sell a single thing at the hamfest, and has to mark all their products that they where hoping to sell as clearance items, just to get rid of them. I know, it's mean and out of spite, but gosh darn it, a company needs to take care of its customers before worrying about their extra profit from events...

Richard Lenoir, KI5DX, out of Main Trading Company, in Paris, Texas, is
not able to go to Hamvention, but he has some great deals off of his
website, mtcradio.com -- they are good folks to deal with.
