Heard last year...
"Hi guys, just wanted to let you know what a great time I had at your hamfest yesterday. About six of us from the Pittsburgh area made the trip. This was my first time being there and I was very impressed with the venue and the hospitality that your club showed during the hamfest. I was very surprised at the number of people in attendance along with the number of sellers."
-Curt McCormick, WU3U
"I attend this hamfest every and I always enjoy it greatly. I have made some fine purchases over the years, and I am still using them. One year I won a G-90 which has amazingly very good performance and features such as an SWR sweep and built-in antenna tuner."
Best regards,
John - WO3X
