[CQ-Contest] length of Dayton flea market

[Julius Fazekas]

Doug,

Did you calculate how many miles walking the inside
vendors added to the total?

We did at least one loop inside and 2+ outside on
Friday. One of my ankles complained, but my feet were
relatively happy ;o)

thanks for the outside estimate!

73,
Julius
