[MRCA] [MMRCG] FW: Shelby Hamfest

Tue May 11 10:40:26 EDT 2021

I’ve been going for many years but never stuck around for Sunday. I am
usually focused on acquisition and don’t think anything new shows up after
Saturday morning.
In recent years, K4OZY and I have arrived around noon on Thursday and found
and sold some interesting stuff. Sometimes we have sold most everything on
Thursday.

Much more stuff on Friday and then additional tailgaters Saturday morning.
You can see photos from Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at

A bunch of us BoatAnchor and Military guys get spaces in this general area

No nets like at Dayton.
