> The history of the Cy Harris W4MAQ Memorial Free Flea
>  
> Cy Harris W4MAQ is remembered by the Broward amateur radio Club and ham community as the organizer of the Free Flea. He was one of the “movers-and-shakers” of the Broward Amateur Radio Club BARC. Cy held office with the BARC and was an enthusiastic worker helping present their hamfest each November.
>  
> When the BARC hamfest were discontinued, his enthusiasm persisted by holding tail-gate parties, sometimes monthly, sometimes when he just felt like it. Motorola, and employee members of the Motorola Amateur Radio Club (MARC), generously supported the events on their East parking lot on Sunrise Blvd.
>  
> The cloudless, sunny Florida mornings brought out the enthusiastic crowd which was estimated as 60 plus tailgaters and 200 buyers/gawkers. The spirit of Cy Harris, W4MAQ prevailed as participants negotiated their sales and purchases while renewing acquaintances and making new friends among the South Florida amateur community.
>  
> We mourned Cy’s passing in 1988, but his enthusiasm continued for several years and the Broward Amateur Radio Club honored his memory by naming this Free Flea the “Cy Harris W4MAQ Memorial Free Flea”.
