[Boatanchors] Lawrenceville GA hamfest photos & report

[Nick England]

Lawrenceville is just north of Atlanta and well attended by hams from
GA, AL, SC, NC.
K4NYW gives it two thumbs up!

I've posted about 40 photos at http://www.virhistory.com/ham/ga10.htm
but there was lots more gear I didn't shoot. (Heathkit EC-1 analog
computer, Gonset Commander xcvr, Drake 1A, National SW3, to name just
a few)

This was my first time at this hamfest and I really enjoyed it - lots
of interesting boatanchors and homebrew gear at reasonable prices. Set
up is Friday afternoon, but there wasn't that much on offer then.
Saturday AM tailgaters could set up starting at 0600, but things
didn't really start hopping until 0700 at least. Public entry at 0800
and tailgaters kept arriving and setting up through 10 am at least -
so kind of laid back atmosphere compared to some where all the
interesting gear has traded hands twice before the fest actually
opens. I had to leave at 1130 Saturday so don't know what happened
after that.

No, I don't have any contact info for stuff that you see in a photo
and are dying to find - sorry. Maybe you can figure out something from
a license plate in the background or start posting on various e-mail
lists trying to find a lead to the owner. Also I left at 1130 so it
may well have sold after that.
cheers,
