Hamfests? Hah. Hamfests turned into "new

The Bay Area has two very good ham fests, but of course I don't go to them
for the radio gear :)
Although I will say there are far fewer interesting (to a computer
collector) things to be found than only a couple years ago (and from what
I'm told, a few years prior to that was much more interesting).
This is a combination of the fact that there are far more computer
collectors around these parts these days and there is a lot less stuff
coming out of garages, closets and attics.
