so the Tri-County hamfest is coming up again in March and im trying to figure out if its worth the drive this year. Last time I went I picked up a decent MFJ tuner for like 20 bucks so I cant complain but the drive is about 2.5 hours each way and my wife is already giving me the look about it lol. Anybody been to this one recently, is it still pretty well attended or has it shrunk down like a lot of the other ones have been doing. Also wondering if the swap meet part is still in the same parking lot or if they moved it indoors.

went last year and honestly it was smaller than I remembered from like 2019 but there were still some decent tables in the flea market section. guy was selling a bunch of old Kenwood gear, not sure if it was all working but the prices were reasonable. think they kept the swap stuff outside but had some tents set up. worth going if you dont have anything better going on, probably wouldnt drive 2.5 hours for it personally

Our club is actually setting up a table there this year if anybody wants to stop by and say hi. We're mostly doing a recruitment thing and bringing some show and tell stuff, one of the guys is bringing his portable HF setup to demo. I heard they added a license exam session in the afternoon too which should bring some new faces in hopefully.
