Hamfests
From Bob's Basement
This page is a list of all 2007, radio rally's aka hamfests. Hamfests are an excellent source of second hand kit, not only radio's, you can get computers, PSU's, test kit and all other insudary for next to nothing, I highly reccomend you go along to 1, even if you dont end buying any kit it's always a good day out even if the place is filled by radio hams (joke)
This list is from the RSGB events list, so I take no responsibility, for any right or wrong information or cancelled events.
