so my buddy told me the Tri-County club is doing their annual hamfest this saturday out at the fairgrounds, i havent been in a few years and wondering if its still worth the drive. last time i went i picked up a pretty decent MFJ tuner for like 20 bucks so you never know what youll find at the swap tables. does anyone know if there's gonna be more vendors this year or is it the same 6 guys selling dusty boat anchors lol

I went last year and honestly it was pretty thin on the vendor side but the swap meet itself had some decent stuff if you got there early. Guy was selling a whole box of connectors and coax ends for next to nothing, i grabbed like two handfulls. The talk-in is on the 147.195 repeater I think, same as always.

im actually thinking about going, been wanting to get a feel for what a hamfest is like since i just got my tech last month. is it weird to show up alone or do people usually just talk to strangers there? seems like it could be awkward idk
