I haven't tried them yet but will let you know.I think the 3 people with nothing but 11 meter gear on thier table was good for a fest of this size. There were only 3 or 4 people catering to CB'ers at Rochester and that fest is 10 times bigger. I've often tossed around the idea of organizing a swapmeet aimed at 11 meter operators but wasn't sure if enough sellers (and buyers) would be interested to make it worth the time and effort. What do you think?

I was thinking the same thing over the weekend . We should put that on the forum as a question. We could call it a Freebander Fest |
