so i heard the Tri-County hamfest is back this year after they skipped it in 23 i think. been a while since ive been to one and i kinda miss just walking the tables and finding weird old gear for cheap. last time i picked up a barely used MFJ tuner for like 12 bucks which was pretty great. anyway just wondering if anyone from around here is planning to go and if the swap meet part is still in the morning or if they moved it around

yeah im planning on going, dragging my buddy along who just got his tech license last spring. he doesnt really know what to expect so itll be fun watching him see all the old boat anchors and stuff for the first time lol. i think the swap meet is still early, like 7am or something before the main hall opens. bring cash cause half these guys dont do venmo or whatever

went last year and honestly the flea market tables were kind of thin, lot of the usual junk you see at every hamfest. but there was one guy selling a stack of old QST magazines from the 70s for almost nothing so i grabbed a bunch. the club auction in the afternoon is usually worth sticking around for if you have time
