Post by: KD1SH on July 14, 2021, 12:10:11 PM I will be there. Watching the weather; not the greatest, but shouldn't be a washout. Thunderstorms, maybe. Tarps, umbrellas, it'll be a great day.
Title: Re: SUNDAY Sussex Hamfest MEET UP? Post by: WBear2GCR on July 14, 2021, 01:38:25 PM Well that will be good.

Post by: KD1SH on July 14, 2021, 02:09:20 PM Well that will be good. But how will I know which guy you are, and you know which guy I am?? Orange day-glow shirt; callsign on my hat; carrying black bag full of junk. Met you down there last time - 2019 - I'll recognize you. Title: Re: SUNDAY Sussex Hamfest MEET UP? Post by: KD1SH on July 14, 2021, 02:14:20 PM And if it rains, well, some of the stuff sold at hamfests could use a good washdown. Come to think of it, a lot of hams seen at hamfests could use a good washdown as well.
Title: Re: SUNDAY Sussex Hamfest MEET UP? Post by: Jim/WA2MER on July 14, 2021, 08:26:15 PM I'll be there. I'll be wearing a blue denim shirt, blue jeans, and a hat with my call sign on it. That should make it easy to pick me out of a crowd of hundreds pretty much all dressed the same way ;D.
Title: Re: SUNDAY Sussex Hamfest MEET UP? Post by: W3DBB on July 15, 2021, 08:06:43 AM Should be there around 8AM, God willing and the creeks don't rise. Leaving around 4-4:30AM. A bit of a haul from central PA. Looking forward to seeing the receivers Bear.

Title: Re: SUNDAY Sussex Hamfest MEET UP? Post by: WBear2GCR on July 16, 2021, 06:11:37 PM Should be SUPER!
Low chance of rain... Hope people make themselves KNOWN!! I am fully loaded and ready to LAUNCH!! _-_-bear Title: Re: SUNDAY Sussex Hamfest MEET UP? Post by: KD1SH on July 16, 2021, 06:33:38 PM After a week of obsessively monitoring the forecast, I'm getting excited. Treasures await!

Link to the NOAA Sussex WX forecast… Looks like the least chance of T-storms will be in the morning on Sunday. Title: Re: SUNDAY Sussex Hamfest MEET UP? Post by: KD1SH on July 16, 2021, 06:58:12 PM Weather Underground is slightly more hopeful:

Title: Re: SUNDAY Sussex Hamfest MEET UP? Post by: Pete, WA2CWA on July 16, 2021, 08:45:05 PM Gee! Maybe you all can gather at a certain time and place for a big group hug ;D

Maybe you all can gather at a certain time and place for a big group hug ;D Mercifully that's not likely to happen among the socially and hygienically challenged.Title: Re: SUNDAY Sussex Hamfest MEET UP? Post by: Scott SWL on July 18, 2021, 07:06:29 PM I went there and had a good time, met bear, the weather was overcast, and I bought 2 Collins 388, and a parts Hammarlund SP-200 to fix my BC779
Title: Re: SUNDAY Sussex Hamfest MEET UP? Post by: WA2SQQ on July 18, 2021, 09:07:54 PM It was a good day, but I could not find anything I needed to buy.
Title: Re: SUNDAY Sussex Hamfest MEET UP? Post by: KD1SH on July 19, 2021, 07:41:44 AM I did: AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
Found a nice Gonset power supply for my G76 - my best find of the day, and worth the whole trip. Found a guy in the building with a whole box of very nicely made heavy filament chokes. Bought five. Found a spare 3CX800A7 for my Henry 6 meter amp; those are getting scarce. Found a 4-1000A for $45. Looks nice, but who knows? But for that price, couldn't resist. Found a brand-new 4CX350, complete with socket. Found two more "West Coast" handbooks for my collection. Found a very nice looking Simpson 260. Battery corrosion inside, unfortunately, but it was $15. Found a handful of AMers I've worked or heard over the years but never met. That was great. Bear had the best selection of tube rigs in the place. It was a good day, but I could not find anything I needed to buy. |
