2010 Highlights:
Seminars
For the past several years topics as far-ranging as Software Defined Radio, Airmail,
Mechanical TV, Satellite Communications, Internet Linking and Air Travel with HF Gear have been presented, discussed and demonstrated at
the Western Connecticut Hamfest. This year we expect another interesting line-up; watch this space.
Big Battery Sale
Not
only is the sale big, so too are the batteries. These gel cells are the big boys, typically
ranging from 75AH-140AH and they're going for the
outrageous price of between $20.00 and $30.00
depending on size. First come, first serve. One or two of these batteries will easily back-up your station
for years to come. Also great to spare your car battery in a mobile station.
Click on the battery image to see the typical specs of the 75AH battery.
Our source is a server center, that uses these batteries in their UPS. The batteries are
changed out regularly and have often never been used. In fact, some of them come still shrink-
wrapped! There is no guarantee, but before selling them to you, we test each and every one of them.
Commercial Vendors
Each year we are successful at attracting several commercial vendors to our HamFest. This year we expect to have KJI
Electronics, The Parent Shop,
Quiksilver Radio, Radio Oasis and Sauder
Electronics. Make sure you give them a visit and
(at the least) save yourself the shipping costs. Watch this
space for further additions.
Raffle
Following last year's success we will again be raffling a
Yaesu FT1900R 2m, 55W mobile rig. And the
best part is the price of a raffle ticket stays
at $5.00. So now there is absolutely no reason
not to play. Everyone can use a rig like this -
add to the shack to track 2 repeaters, for your
other car or for that go-kit you've been
thinking about for a while. This is your chance. Click on the radio
image to find out more about the FT1900.
Etc. Etc. Etc.
