I am looking to retire 4/1/24. My chances of
getting a room at a hotel are probably very
slim. Maybe I will have to try after Dayton
2024 is done and book a hotel room for 2025.

I was there when AES flew their airplane around and the last time it was in April and it snowed.... I didn't go for a while, but have gone 5 years straight, now. I wish they could move to a more modern, not run-down and easier to get around site with better accessability and parking. I would think that the Dayton Area groups would help out because it is the biggest thing that happens in Dayton except maybe for the Martians secretly hidden at WPAFB! Also, pave the parking lot, get the CB junk and the jewelry and other non-ham stuff OUT of the flea market. Yes, we'll be there this year, too...

Never been. Hope to make it at least
once in my lifetime. Maybe this will be
the year.

I'm afraid my view is "not enough bang for the buck"... Just too expensive, getting there, buying tickets, etc...
Have gone many times over the years, but won't likely return unless I want something specific. And then it will have to have a "serious" discount...

I haven't been to Dayton in eight years until this year...
Loved it all over again...
You could move around inside without suffering kidney damage....
If you didn't go to Dayton this year....
DONT GO NEXT YEAR...PLEASE!!!!
I like it the way it was.....

While the Flea Market attendance was down, mostly due to eBay and other sites, seeing old friends and meeting new ones among the contesters is great. The SMC Hooters party on Thu evening, the hopitality suites at the Crowne Plaza Thu, Fri & Sat evenings, and the Contest dinner are all a blast with a lot of terrific folks. Now with next year's Contest University on Thu, it will be even better. Maybe then I'll be able to copy more calls at the KC suite Pileup Competition and do better than less than half of K4BAI's score. :-) See Y'all there.
