so ive been trying to figure out if its worth making the drive out for the hamfest theyre doing near the dayton area next month, i think its the second weekend but cant remember exactly. last time i went a few years ago i picked up a decent antenna tuner for like 20 bucks and some coax but also spent way too long talking to a guy about his vintage collins gear lol. anyway my club here hasnt mentioned anything about doing a group carpool this year which is kind of a bummer because splitting gas made it way more doable. does anyone know if the swap meet portion is still a big deal or has it kind of shrunk down like some of the other fests have been doing lately

yeah the swap meet is still pretty solid from what i heard, my buddy went last fall to a similar one and said tables were pretty full. the trick is getting there early like right when doors open otherwise all the good junk is already gone. i scored a barely used MFJ tuner for almost nothing once just by being first in line basically

our club is actually doing a carpool if you're not too far, we have a few seats. also i think there's a license exam session happening the same weekend at the venue which is kinda cool for newer folks. shoot me a message if the ride thing interests you
