Pretty good little hamfest that literally was in my backyard when I used to live in Burke County :)

Think R&L is the ONLY new equipment dealer there... so no dealer cut throating going on for the best prices :( Still not bad prices...

Hey Zombie,

Are you going to the Concord event?? If so I'd like to meet up with you there and get some good radio advice. Let me know.

[Zombie Axe]

If I don't hafta work I'll go if you plan on being there... you could probably test if you are a fast study :)

I'll let you know in a week or so if I am good to go that weekend...

BTW anyone else that would like to meetup at the hamfest you are welcome too :)

[Freedom Defender]

Cool, I didn't know they did testing there also. Let me know and I'll see if can make it if you go.

hope to get my ticket this weekend!!!! have had my rig for a while have been listening,but I have to work so much and have not had the time to get it, well now the time is right. Wish me luck!

[mountainman28713]

thanks man, I was unable to go to the one in salisbury this past saturday. I am still trying to get my ticket so I can get on the net. I already have a rig to listen with, I am proud of it, it is a Radio Shack HTX-252 2m/440. I printed the handbook for it off the internet and power it off of a 12-volt jump box with an inline fuse. I hope to make a manpack for it so I can pack it with my bug out bag when it it is not in use mobile.

I hope to get my ticket this month and drive down and visit my sister and brother in-law and do a talk in to the hamfest.
