[CQ-Contest] Dayton flea market mud

[Jeff AC0C]

What has historically set Dayton apart from the rest of the big hamfests is that monster sized flea market.  So the decision of the organizers to put it in the center of a dirt horse track on grass seems like a big gamble that there would be no serious rain.  Unfortunately this year they won the prize for a lot of rain on that weekend.  And that rain turned the race track and everything inside into a massive mud mess.

Hope the organizers find some solution to that problem.  Because the persistent mud makes the flea market a pretty unpleasant experience.  Makes me wonder how many guys come to Dayton primarily to poke around in the market – and how many will be back if it’s going to be the mud mess it was this year.
