I'm rather new to the mailing list, and I poked through some of the
previous messages on the site, but didnt see this one directly answered.
I live in texas, and know of a few here haaug meet, first saturday, san
antonio's 2nd sat, but is there a place where I can find out more of them
located in this area (texas, oklahoma, arkansas, lousiana)? I figure here
would be the best place to ask, because I'm really not interested in
buying pc stuff, but love old unix equipment, and misc electronics. Any
huge festivals that I should be going too every year that I'm not? (I go
to trenton nj)... what about surplus places (I love to find junk at places
that take computers to scrap them for metal... I get some awesome deals
there)? Any help would be nice :)
Thanks,
jon

Jon,
I've had GREAT luck at the hamfests. My advice is to find a ham in your
area that goes to most of the hamfests and tag along with him. He can also
keep you posted on all the upcoming hamfests. It's also worth registering
as a dealer so that you can get in early. MOST of the buying and selling
occurs before the door ever opens to the public. I have a neighbor that's
a ham and he goes to most of the nearby hamfests to sellstuff. I go along
with him, get it early and then as he emptys his truck by selling stuff I
refill it with my purchases! It works out great!

Perhaps more good advice:
Consider getting a Ham License all your very own.... no?

Another good place for hamfest postings is in Nuts & Volts. Also, here
in Kansas City GATS (Great American Train Show) sold some of its
floorspace to local/regional computer vendors. Best thing is to keep
ones eyes open.

There's a central listing for most of them. It might be maintained by the
American Amateur Radio Assoc. or some name like that. A google search
should turn it up. I can't find the URL I had at the moment.
