I can add a few more good hamfests
Berryville, VA (August)........It's coming up soon. Very good, always lots of equipment for sale, always on my list to go
Sussex Co, NJ (July).......... I was just at this one, really good flea market, small main building, very good restrooms, always on my list to go
Butler, PA (June)........very good flea market, has two buildings, didn't get to go this year but always on my list to go
Howard County, MD(various dates and hamfests).......always a decent fest, a little smaller than some but still a nice flea market and some covered areas.....I try to get to these.
Manassas, VA(June I think).........haven't been there recently but was always good.
There are more and I could go on and on, and some I want to go to that look great (Raleigh.....and some others in NC) I may go to Dayton next year, who knows. (been there before about 4-5 times) Since I don't belong to a club I figure my admission donation helps the club(s) hosting the event. At one hamfest I even met a columnist from QST so I had the chance to tell him how much I enjoyed his column.
It's just one of a few parts of the hobby I enjoy doing. I really hope something good happens for Dayton in the near future.
