Counting down the days
With only 8 days to go before the UK’s biggest Amateur Radio event, arrangements for the National Hamfest are in full swing. Visitors will have plenty to look at in the main hall as trader space there is totally sold out. Highlights to look forward to are finding all the main manufacturers and dealers under one roof as well as some overseas traders too. The Luso tower will be a talking point for those not lucky enough to have seen it at either the Dayton Hamvention or Friendrichshafen earlier this year. The RSGB have a big presence at the show with representatives from their various committees and departments available with help and advice to members and non members alike. Don’t forget that the 2010 Yearbook is being launched at the show and the first 100 customers each day will receive a goody bag. Ofcom will also be exhibiting at the show and visitors will have a chance to discuss everything from licensing to PLT with them. Some visitors will go home with a real bargain as there are two excellent free raffles taking place. Every entry ticket includes the chance to win one of the fantastic prizes on offer from the main raffle such as an IC-7200 and the chance to win a VX-8 in the daily Yaesu prize draw. Check out the latest RadCom for full details of the prizes. Outside you’ll find more traders and a non-trade car boot sale – you can still book your spot at the car boot sale – where you’ll be certain to find a bargain or two. We look forward to seeing many of you there over the two days. National Hamfest, organised by the RSGB in conjunction with the Lincoln Short Wave Club. www.nationalhamfest.org.uk
