In case of Hamvention, it is question of group of people who organize it,
call the shots and the accommodation of the facilities - Hara Arena. There is
the
tradition also.
Would the Hamvention team consider doing it in Louisville, KY, or would they
transfer the project to KY group? That is the question. As far as travel,
probably not much difference for majority of participants.
We, Tesla RC, tried to have something like Visalia East - DXContestvention
near Port Jervis, NY at nice 142 acre resort, offering nice facilities, camping
etc. Major contest clubs did not show any interest in supporting or promoting
the event (Sept.) Few Frankford contesters showed up, that was it. We took
care of all the logistics, just needed promo and participation among the true
believers. So, back to do nothing.
Now with Internet, who needs any get together, what it seems.
