It also makes the vendors/exhibitors unhappy in that it makes 
participants in the Antenna/Contest and potentially DX forums 
less likely to spend time at their booth.  Taking a large number 
of the most active, most likely to buy attendees away from HARA 
makes Hamvention much less valuable to the "big ticket" vendors.
