Montreal Amateur Radio Club Hamfest 2008

A hamfest is basically a flea-market (or swap meet) for Ham Radio operators. It’s filled with all kinds of techie toys and gadgets. The things for sale vary from specialized top of the line equipment, to old antiquated “stuff”. Cable, computer parts, EVERYTHING you might need for Ham Radio, all this at REALLY REALLY low prices.
This is the first time I went to a M.A.R.C Hamfest. It was near my house so there was nothing to lose. I must admit that it doesn’t compare to the hamfest’s that my ham radio club does. (C.R.A.L.L : Club Radio Amateur Laval Laurentides) This hamfest has about one third the space that the Laval one has, and most of the tables / people there selling stuff were at the Laval one also which was only a month ago.
The people in charge were very polite, and as usual, so were the people there selling things.
Hamfest’s are heaven for anyone interested in electronics, Ham Radio (obviously), Computers, and communications of any kind. You should go check one out!
