This annual event is the largest gathering of amateur radio operators. Sprawled across the Greene County Fairgrounds and Expo Center are commercial vendors selling gear or services, educational talks, license exams, and a massive flea market. Of the various activities, my favorite is to wander around the dozens of rows of people selling items in the flea market. For some people, this is the only reason even to attend! Here are a few of the things I picked up and plan to do some work on.
