[Elecraft] NCARC Superfest 2002--Vendors, Clubs and Other Goodies

[Rod N0RC]

Folks,

This year like always we will have another fine lineup of folks in the
Swap and Sale area, too many to mention here.

For a more complete list of the vendors, visit the Superfest website
at:

 http://www.radioactivehams.com/superfest/vendors.html

Here are just a few of my personal favorites....

  Arrow Antenna--Simply the best! I have their 146/440 J-pole in my
  garage attic to access local repeaters, It works great!

  Miley's Radio: radios, antennas, test equipment and more. I got a
good
  deal on my MFJ-259B a few years ago.

  Radio Shack: Fest-special products & prices; the local managers are
  hams and they offer some good stuff! Last year I got a nifty SWL
  radio at a nice price.

  Radio Paul: Antennas, Antenna Wire, Ladder line....Last year I
  bought some nifty ladder line from Paul. This year I'm going back
  for some antenna wire. It is getting time to redo my attic antenna.

I don't mean to exclude any of our vendors, they all have great stuff.
The few I mentioned are ones I have recent or repeated experience
with. Each year I try to visit several new and different vendors, and
I always find some needed/or useful item(s). Why not stop by
Superfest, stroll around and see what you can find? Betcha find
something. ;-)

And don't forget the individual ham tables. I always see some
great/classic stuff. Last year I was tempted to buy a Knight Kit Star-
Roamer SWL RX. I built one in High School many years ago, and it was
that kit that got me started in Ham Radio.


Clubs:

  YLRL,  CQC,  Colorado Radio Collectors and of course NCARC. Stop by,
  check them out, maybe join. Or, re-up your existing membership. I
  always see a few old friends chatting around these tables, you never
  know who you may run into.


Other Goodies

  What's a hamfest, with out a "ham-feast", FOOD! This year in
  addition to standard fair like Hot Dogs, our kitchen manager has
  made arrangements to offer tacos from Qudoa(R) Mexican Grill,
  Loveland CO!!  (http://www.qdoba.com/) And, because Qudoa's has
  donated the fixin's, we can offer them at a special low
  Superfest price! Supplies are limited so come early and don't
  miss this yummy treat.


Tomorrow, I'll tell about the prizes. There are more than what you
see currently on the website. All those vendors I told you
about...they make some mighty fine stuff available to us for door
prizes!
