My first hamfest I came across one of these in Dalton, GA, and didn’t buy it. It stuck in my head for a long time. I couldn’t pass it up twice!

I thought it was May 16-18? Is that not correct?

This is the thread from a couple of years ago!

Yep, It’s May 16th - 18th this year :slight_smile:

That makes sense. Saw your post for volunteers for this year. I doubt I’ll be doing much of that since this is my first time, but it seems like you’ll be more than adequately covered on that front. Any specific places you would recommend going to as far as booths?

Well, definitely come visit World Radio League lol would be great to see you there!

But there is plenty more to see. All the major vendors from antennas to radio manufacturers.

I think one of highlights is always the “boneyard” - trying to find some great deals!
