We must have gone to different conventions..
What day were you there?
The convention hall was about 80% full on Saturday and the outdoor flea market was as full as it's been in other years. 

Overall attendance per FEMARA officials was UP 20% over the previous convention and was the best in 10 years. I've been going to Boxboro since 1974 and the comparions with other years sure looked good to me.

Yes, Ten-Tec sales are spread by word of mouth but when the word of mouth scuttlebutt favors competitors like Elecraft, one has to wonder.
