Well, I was at the so-called Shelby Hamfest. What I mostly saw was, illegal Citizens Band Radios (non FCC type accepted), Illegal Citizens Band Amplifiers, a bunch of old Public Service Radios, tons and tons on old computer junk, and a lot of “hams” who needed a bath. This “Hamfest”, and I use the term loosely, has turned into a joke. Oh yeah, and one dude, who must have been on crack, wanted $800.00 for an old KW TS-440S, with a small Astron power supply. I live within a 1 hour drive of Shelby, and this years trip, will be my last!
BTW, you haven’t seen anything yet! Wait until the Morse Code requirement is dropped. It’s only going to get better……
