The Dayton Amateur Radio Association says that over 24,000
people attended the 2012 Dayton Hamvention (R), and that both attendance and vendor
sales were up over 2011.
Meanwhile, the Ham-Com hamfest in Plano, Texas in early June
was plagued with two power outages, a short one on Friday and a longer one on
Saturday. Many attendees went home and many vendors started packing up during
the second outage, which began around 2 PM and lasted about an hour and a half.
