[SixClub] Equipment Prices

[Steven Coles]

Jim,

 

Some amateur radio swap meets no longer allow computers.  As best I remember, the last time I attended the ham swap meet in Puyallup, WA it occupied two floors of a large fair building with no OT items in sight.  But I never would have remembered to check it out except for an avid swap meet coworker.

 

The emphasis there was about 93% on rigs.  My interest was in parts.  Even with a very small percentage of tables offering parts, a small percentage of a very large swap meet offered everything I could hope for.

 

Visiting a large club with a coffee social after the meeting should provide local information.  At least at W7DK about 3 inquiries gets you introduced to someone who has the answers you're looking for.

 

In my youthful hamming days asking a question during a 6-meter rag chew often produced a break in by someone who had the answers.

 

Good rig hunting.

 

73,
