[CQ-Contest] “You can’t have a Dayton Hamvention in Las Vegas, Nevada,”

[Zack Widup]

And how much would it cost to go, compared to Dayton?

Dayton is an easy driving distance for me, only 4 hours. Sometimes I buy
things it's just easier to drive back with me - it would be difficult to
get them on a plane and too expensive to ship. I would most likely not be
going to Vegas.
