                                                Dayton Hamvention 2008 review by K3WT, WØOR,

                                                KØIEA, KFØQR, and KØBUD.  It was everyone’s

                                                opinion the crowds were down, particularly in the

                                                flea market.  Some feel E-bay is hurting the flea

                                                market, and high fuel costs have taken their toll

                                                on attendance in general.  We were reminded by

                                                Mike, KØBUD, that Dayton is still the best Hamfest

                                                around, and is always a lot of fun!
