Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Dayton 2008
Scott, Are the space outside or inside. Also what about the $70 spaces. When I had inside booth, 8x8, at Dayton 15 years ago they were over $400. Outside was $30 and more if wanted more spaces. This is when they sold out with about a 40% excess in request. They did a lottery to determine who got a space. This is also when Dayton got over 32,000 attendance. 73, ron, n9ee/r Ron Wright, N9EE 727-376-6575 MICRO COMPUTER CONCEPTS Owner 146.64 repeater Tampa Bay, FL No tone, all are welcome.
