It’s been years since I’ve been to a Hamfest. But as I recall, in addition to radio equipment, people sold computer parts, Digital integrated circuits, transformers, power, supplies, etc. Is that still the case?
Hi Kevin,
We often have radio-adjacent gear being sold at FredFest. Cheers! Mike K3MMM
I picked up a late-model laptop at the last one!
