Love 'em or hate 'em...

   Wonder what
happened to the swapmeets/hamfests/etc? 
  Hamfests?  Hah.  Hamfests turned into "new taiwanese PC clone hardware
dealer fests" years ago. 
Not so in SoCal, the four regional hamfests, Santee, Fontana, Pomona, and
TRW, all are old style drop the tailgate, empty the trunk events. Real
"dealers" are less than 50% of the crowd and a good half of them are radio
related or tools.

Computer fairs are the only all dealer events, and we even still have quite
a few local swapmeets that are at least 25 to 50% casual sellers.
