anybody going to the Lakewood hamfest next month?

 Loading...

so ive been trying to figure out if its worth the drive this year, last time i went i think it was like 2019 or something before everything went sideways and it was pretty decent, got a good deal on an old Kenwood HT that still works great. wondering if anyone here has heard anything about how big it usually is these days, i know some of these regional fests have kind of shrunk down since covid and never really bounced back

also the club is doing a swap meet the weekend after at the fairgrounds, different thing, just thought id mention it in case anyone local didnt know

went last year, honestly wasnt as big as i remembered it being back in the day but still worth going if your not too far. the outdoor tables had some decent stuff early in the morning, guy was selling a whole box of connectors and coax ends for almost nothing. indoor vendors were pretty much the same as always, couple guys selling new radios at barely below retail which whatever. the talk-in was working fine on the local repeater so that part was easy at least

im actually planning to go, its only like 45 min from me. never been to one before so not really sure what to expect tbh. do people actually negotiate prices or is it more like set prices on everything
