Went to a ham fest last sat. it was pretty sparse , very little used equipment unless you wanted used car stereo's i even saw some old boat propellers. Did get to meet some good people though.

I'm thinking about going to my first hamfest this Saturday.  I hope the turnout is better.  My boat has a good propeller.

I picked up a signal link USB for 60 bucks are the last hamfest I went to, it was small and lots of harbor freight free flashlights for 3 bucks.  I don't get the logic in hauling a bunch of free crap trying to sell it to a consumer who also goes to harbor freight.

Oh well, next fest is Jan 7 for me.

Must not have been the Fort Wayne (Indiana) hamfest.  It was pretty good.  Only bad part was they moved our QRP forum to 3:15pm and not many stayed around for it. Normally we have 30+  Saturday we had 7 there.

Typical. Don't expect anything different in the future. The only reason I go to hamfests now is to train my dog in a public setting

This depends on the hamfest, but if it's like many, and you're into homebrewing, investigate those ratty old boxes beneath the tables. There are often treasures to be found there.
