Re: Cowtown Hamfest, Fort Worth TX, Jan 9-10

I think it started last year. Hopefully there will be someone from the K5MOT club again this year. They sold something like 7 VHF Astro Spectra W7s last year for dirt cheap. Larry got one and it still had their club repeater as well as some other Tarrant county goodies in it. :ham:

Re: PARIS TEXAS HAMFEST Oct 10 and 11 2008 HAM SEXY !!!

Fun time! Much bigger turnout than last year. Not a lot of newer-model radios for sale but a fair selection of odds & ends. I sold $80 and spent $80 so I was happy. Too bad I missed out on Friday, supposedly a radio shop near Tyler came out with some commercial gear and sold everything he had. K...

How's the turn out of commercial gear at Paris? Belton used to be a GREAT 'fest for cheap but decent (late 90s) Motorola gear, but that seems to have dried up over the past couple years. :soap:
