It's time to start cleaning up the shack and begin parting with that excess connector, cable, radio or test equipment device.This year we will return to our favorite location in Area 17 at Thompson Park. It's been several years since we have been able to secure this spot. There is plenty of space for junk-in-the trunk displays. Tables in the shelter are always at a premium so make plans to bring one if you have a lot of equipment to sell or trade.See the map below for the location.
Hamfest/Swapfest Flyers should arrive in your mailbox the week prior to the Saturday event. If you wish to buy tickets, Please fill them out and bring them with you.
The GRAND PRIZE this year is a YAESU FTM-100DR MOBILE DUAL BAND RADIO With a lot of exciting features; Check it out.
