I’m curious what people think of hamfests. Are they still an exciting outing? Would you like a different experience? Like what? Are flea markets satisfying? More conferences and lectures or fewer? Should there be a banquet? Are raffles good, bad, necessary, motivating? Free or paid?
Basically, if you had to improve hamfests writ large, what would you propose?
BTW, in my mind I’m thinking about the more regional and local hamfests, not the Hamvention/Hamcation/etc… mega events. I’m talking about your 8AM to 2PM club-organized type events.
Thoughts?
