			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This last weekend (July, 4) was the start of hamfest weekend here in Eastern PA. On Saturday we traveled to the Harrisburg area to visit the <strong><a href="http://hrac.tripod.com/HAMFEST_FLYER2009.pdf" target="_blank">Firecracker Harrisburg Hamfest and Eastern Pennsylvania (EPA) Section Convention</a>.</strong> This was one of the better hamfests in the area. Tailgating was out in a field and there were very few garbage vendors. While there we picked up a Heathkit speaker for Laurie&#8217;s (KB3SIK) vintage rig and I picked up a 2meter mobile antenna and thru-the-roof NMO mounts. Of which I broke on during install. 3/8&#8243; of brass isn&#8217;t very strong.</p>
<p>On Sunday with a heads up from K3GMT, we drove up to Wilkes-Barre, PA to the <strong><a href="http://www.qsl.net/k3ytl/hamfest.htm" target="_blank">Murgas ARC Hamfest &amp; Computerfest</a></strong>. This one was less than stellar. While I appreciate the attempt, having vendors selling their completely unrelated, miscellaneous junk is always a disappointment. If I remember I saw someone trying to sell a guitar and amplifier and someone else trying to sell a Laurel and Hardie doll. WTF!? On a positive note I was able to find the <a href="http://www.sauderelectronics.com/oscommerce/" target="_blank">Sauder&#8217;s Electronics</a> table and purchase some 3/4&#8243; NMO mounts. Much beefier and look forward to drilling the holes in my roof later this week.</p>
<p>Next Sunday (July 12) is the <strong><a href="http://www.scarcnj.org/html/hamfest.html" target="_blank">Sussex County Amatuer Radio Club Hamfest</a></strong>. I hear this is the one to visit. I&#8217;ll have to make time since I plan on participating in the <a href="http://www.iaru.org/contest.html" target="_blank">IARU HF contest</a>.</p>
