I should take off work and go since it's only about 1.5 hours from me.. I have my old mounts to sell and I don't really want to ship them.

I usually go and will plan to be there. Fun to look around, see friends and they have good food! This event is a sign of Spring and my first sign that warmer weather observing is arriving smile.gif

I'd sure like to see more notices like this, especially in my area.  I haven't been to an Astro swap in several years, don't think there's been one in this area in years.  I routinely travel to Hamfests, they are well advertised at a central location.   https://www.arrl.org...tions-calendar

I'm thinking of going this year. It's been a few years and I've gotten some great deals on equipment there in the past.

 

I also got some nice Oberwerk binoculars there as a door prize 1 year.

 

It's not a huge event with hundreds of people but it's big enough for variety and small enough to be friendly.

This is great - will try to get there. 

 

Edit: I assume it's open to non-members?
