On Sunday with a heads up from K3GMT, we drove up to Wilkes-Barre, PA to the Murgas ARC Hamfest & Computerfest. 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 Sauder’s Electronics table and purchase some 3/4″ NMO mounts. Much beefier and look forward to drilling the holes in my roof later this week.

Next Sunday (July 12) is the Sussex County Amatuer Radio Club Hamfest. I hear this is the one to visit. I’ll have to make time since I plan on participating in the IARU HF contest.
