Icom leaves hamfest in a lurch

I recently received a flyer from the W7AQ Radio Club in Yakima, Washington about their annual hamfest on April 16, 2005. The flyer advertised that ICOM and a few of their dealers were going to be present for the day.

I drove 200 miles to get to this hamfest, because I wanted check out the latest equipment ICOM had for sale, and possibly make an ICOM radio purchase.

I arrived at the hamfest early and found out that ICOM was not there. ICOM apparently had denied a scheduled local dealer their franchise (ALF Enterprises) because their yearly sales were supposedly $1,500 short of their annual sales goal. ALF is no longer an ICOM dealer and will not show up and any more hamfests.

Thanks for nothing ICOM!! YAESU has a new customer, ME!!!

That is too bad. That really is a poor way to treat folks.

ICOM did not show up this year either. Just tried to send them some free hats and junk. Talk about throwing rotten bone.
