I will be at Dayton Flea Market back by gate C with tons of satellite equipment. I think this makes about 20 years or more. Stop by and talk to us.

I'll be there too. Friday and Saturday at least, maybe Sunday. This will be my fourth year there.

I plan to have a Tesla powered Rav 4 there for sale, back by gate C by the pile of Traxis 6000 HD MPEG 4 receivers

Mike, I am in the rear of the flea market in the center at gate C.

update; the Tesla - Rav4 is sitting in western Mass. With a range of 175 miles it will take a number of charges to get to Dayton. Hopefully it will make it!

Although the weather was not great for the flea market the inside of the arena was jammed. There were a lot more booths and vendors from foreign countries. The economy looked a lot better for the city of Dayton as it did not look plighted as in other years I've gone to the Hamvention.

I was surprised to see that there was an area set aside for High School Robotics, and on Saturday there was a group of teens demonstrating the Robots and circulating inform on Robotic contest that they participate in.

My highlight was meeting Wallyhts and seeing FTA products at the convention, his booth was set up in a great area, right next to the ARRL section. He had a lot of traffic passing in front of his display. I hope he did well on selling his products. I think that if he would attend a Makers Faire that he would also do well. I did mention to Wally that I also go to the Makers Faire in September in Flushing, NY and hope to see him there.
