I went to the Dayton Hamvention this year, first time in about a decade (I was a regular attendee back in the 90s).

I won't say much here because I've already said a lot in agreement with what K9ZW has said about the sad state of the Hamvention in his blog post, Dayton Hamvention 2008 Follow-Up Report No. 21 - Dayton the Unwashed.

Basically, as grateful as we are to the DARA for organizing the event, its just not as good as it use to be (or could be). Some claim that it parallels the state and future of ham radio itself. But at any rate, read the K9ZW post and the ongoing comment thread, despite what your opinion of the situation is, there are good points made.
