Title: Shelby NC hamfest this week
Post by: K4NYW on August 24, 2014, 06:29:34 PM
The big Shelby NC hamfest starts this week. We'll be there beginning on Thursday.
The Boatanchors and Antique Radio gangs have got 37 fleamarket spaces together this year (thanks to KN4R and others at the Great Land Rush today). Should be fun....

I always wanted to do Shelby.  It's just too damned far.
Enjoy!

Hope everyone had fun. Bet they had a ton of nice gear.   Heard a late night QSO where one ham said it was 93 deg. And about the same humidity. Said he was still recovering. Must have been an old timey guy  ;D
I went to the Stonewall Jackson Jubilee in Weston, Wva for a more general type of fest and good Bluegrass in a tent. Good music but "only" 91 deg. Left early.  Wuss.
