Naxcom show question?

There is a Naxcom show this weekend in Philadelphia, and according to some dealers I have spoken with, this is possibly their attempt to try and steal some of the thunder from Fort Washington. My question is - how are the Naxcom shows generally? I would like to know how many dealers are setting up there, but a few phone calls to them were of no use. I might attend the show if I could find out a bit more than what the website offers - any info is appreciated. Thanks!

Anyone? How about the California shows they run - how are they?

The Hollywood Park shows (in LA) they have 3X a year are OK I guess. A decent selection of big national dealers (Madec, McAvoy, Starx, Kyle's, Goodwin, Maraya, Marty's, Scottsdale, etc) and smaller local ones. The show seems to be run OK and the dealer complaints seem minimal- especially compared to what I hear about some of the Tri Star shows.
But a show is only as good as the dealers that set up, and a new, start up show wouldn't be as strong as an established one- like Ft. Washington. From what I hear the Ft. Washington and possibly the Sun Times show in Chicago are second only to the National. especially for pre War material.

Thanks - I appreciate the info. The Fort show is without question the best show on the East Coast, but Naxcom is new to the area (East Coast, actually) - and it would seem they might be trying to compete with the Fort. If I go, I'll post some details here about how well it went.
