so ive been going back and forth on whether to make the trip out to dayton this year, its like a 6 hour drive for me and last time i went in 2019 i honestly spent way more than i planned on just random junk i didnt need. found a great deal on a kenwood ts-430s though so i guess it evened out. anyway my local club is doing a carpool thing and a few guys are splitting a hotel room if anyone wants in. just wondering if people think its worth it these days or if its gotten too crowded and overpriced. feel like the flea market side has gotten smaller but maybe thats just me

went last year and yeah the outdoor fleamarket felt smaller to me too, though i still managed to find a bunch of coax connectors for basically nothing and grabbed an old MFJ tuner that actually works fine. the crowds on saturday were brutal honestly, i'd go friday if you can swing it. your club carpool thing sounds like the way to do it, way more fun than driving solo

i've never been but my elmer keeps telling me i should go at least once just for the experience. maybe this is the year, how do you even find out about the carpool thing is that through your club's email list or what
