Never heard of them nor their swap meet. They are not on the arrl.org
website. The only thing that I had heard about Amateur Radio Hamfest in
Fair Lawn which was on arrl.org and it was scheduled for the same day, but
they have rescheduled to June 5. When the Steering Committee found out,
they decided that we wouldn't move the date of our show and that people
would choose for themselves if they wanted to do either or both. In any
case, it is too late to change our dates, we have already advertised it
everyone and have people lined up to come to it.

We sent out notice of our swap meet months ahead. If I had known about any
other events, then I wouldn't have picked that date. We do the best we can
not to conflict with anyone else, but we can't shift our dates around for
everyone. We have to deal with our own schedules too.

So people can do both if they choose.

We will do fine. We have enough vendors and customers from your area and
its growing.
