[CQ-Contest] Visalia

Jim had the privledge of sitting in one of the less "crowded" sections of the
Saturday night dinner.  Many folks didn't see dinner till after 9PM (7:30
was the stated serving time).  Many folks didn't even get dinner, nor a seat
(given the service, those folks had a better time).

Visalia is a great convention.  It has well overflowed the Holiday Inn capacity
and needs better venue - not unlike Dayton.  I stand by my statement Visalia
needs help.

>already volunteered to make 2006 Visalia even better.

I'm interested in more "contest" sessions at the Visalia convention (contesting
is really the only reason I go to Visalia).  I have discussed the idea
on a couple of mail lists, one of which Jim is a regular on.

I'd love to have a "contesting" convention - will it happen? Someday.  For now,
us contestors have to use existing conventions.
