How many people went to the hamvention this year at Dayton??? how did you like it/dislike it what are your thoughts on it. I have heard some talk that they might move it to Columbus Ohio. Which I think would be a good Idea the Hara arena is getting run down... Also did any body here about the great bathroom conspiracy??? I guess some of the ladies where upset that there where more men restrooms than ladies,but then there where more men than ladies at the hamvention

Does anyone know how many people attended? Last time I was there about 20 years ago, it was 28K. Too many.

Maybe they should move it Iowa, where there is a 'potty parity' law. It requires that there be twice as many potties for ladies as for men. I can tell you that in spite of the slight inconvenience to me, it was wonderful living there because I never had to wait forever for my wife to get through the line at the john. I think this should be strongly considered by anybody building any kind of public facility.

That's the funniest thing I've ever heard.
Most hamfests I've been to, its wishful thinking even having female restrooms at all.....
Most hams I know just leave their wife a bottle for them #as they just leave them in the car.....
