Shelby NC hamfest this weekend

[K4NYW]

The Shelby NC hamfest is perhaps the 2nd largest in the US

A bunch of the Boatanchors gang will be setting up in the flea market area at the location  marked in red here - look for our traditional yellow "Boatanchors!" banner

Some of us will be there Thurs noon to Saturday noon, some others arriving Friday and staying through Sunday. I'm looking forward to swapping vintage gear (and vintage lies) at the fest.

I'll be trying to sell a ton of parts and tools, plus some BA ham gear.
Looking for Navy radio equipment and model 28 teletype stuff.

Hope to see you there!

Definitely a smaller fest than in years past. They didn't even have to use the tailgater overflow area outside the fence.
But still plenty of interesting gear and interesting friends to chat with.

Cheers,

I agree Nick, the vendors were a little down and so was the crowd, but you couldn't beat the weather Saturday morning !
