This hamfest has been a great source of military and ham 
gear for those of us here in the Pacific Northwest. Usually 
you see a mix of green radios, aircraft radios, home brew 
and commercial ham gear, vintage audio and old time radios.

Folks come from as far away as Northern California, Idaho, 
Nevada and sometimes even Canada.

Disclaimer: I've been a very satisfied attendee and 
occasional seller for at least 10 years.
