Chelsea Michigan 2021 Ham Radio Hamfest Swap meet event Vintage electronics expo Amateur hobby

Finally! A Hamfest. Had a great time, met up with friends. Didnt buy much as I was just concentrating on making the video. Saw the same old sellers and most items hadn't changed either! Attendance was great, they actually ran out of parking spaces. Many people were awaiting the day when they could share the hobby again. Good to see things returning to normal.

New drinking game. Every time Terry says, "Hey, Man"...😁 Thanks for taking us along, Terry. It's very heartening.

Sad to hear about Marsha. Hope she is top-notch soon. Really enjoyed the video. So wonderful to see a bit of "normal" in the world today.

I dig the Ham Radio swamp meet walk alongs! I let my call sign expire .Life happens etc... now retired I'll come back.

[@slomo7428]

thanks terry, for the tour. I will be keeping my eyeball open for the next ham fest near Md. I will surely be there checking the small parts bin for all the 25 cent goodies, and maybe an old boat anchor, or 2 . 73's

[@edwardhannigan6324]

good walk thru Terry. I hope Marcia feels better - please send her my best.

[@TimN7XAU]

Felt like I was there, was going for my wallet several times! Great vid, thanks and 73

I'm glad you enjoyed the Magnavox phonograph. I'm pretty certain the Burt record helped sell that unit. Lol. I actually went looking for you after the phonograph sold to give you the record! Sorry I missed you at my friend's booth. Thanks for covering this event. Great video.

[@TheTrueVoiceOfReason]

Aw man, just checked on my local Hamfest (MARC - Valley Forge) and it's the next weekend after I get knee 2 done. Extended walking will definitely be out of the question. There's always next year. My best to you (and your new job), Marcia (hope she's on the mend) and all the younguns.

[@timka880057]

I saw a few things there I'd like. Sometimes I might see something at the fleamarkets on the weekends here in Greer SC. But I rarely buy anything. Enjoyed the vid man! 👌

[@philipchandler330]

Thanks for sharing so appreciated

[@Goforitmanager]

Great hamfest and you do such a great job promoting them. Can’t wait to be able to cross the border to attend some.

[@electrolytics]

Good stuff. Good people. I can't believe the chandelier went. Maybe someone wanted a famous KZbin chandelier hanging in their hall?

[@bmh67wa]

I want that Heathkit VFO. I have the original schematic and packaging for one but not the VFO itself. I don't even care if it works. I sure do hope we have some sort of hamfest here in Washington state soon. Things here are opening up a lot more slowly than some other parts of the country.

SW-Germany is waving a hand! 73's de Your Friend Uncle Guenter

[@TheTrueVoiceOfReason]

That's a Keuffel & Esser Railroad level. The way it used to be done in the old days. I've been at the surveying game for 38 years and never had the "pleasure" of using one of this style.

[@marcdich9066]

wow ,what sucks is the dayton or now xenia ohio hamfest has been cancelled again this year ,wish i had known about this one looks like a lot of home audio gear there

[@wb8cxo]

Good to see ya in person again Terry! Would a Flex really peel you away from your Johnson? LOL If I was rich I'd buy ya a Flex!!!! Be sure to tell Shortwave Girl that everybody missed her at the show! Monroe, weekend after next! Good Luck with the D-Lab remodel! 73, Mike, WB8CXO

[@k2tjh-hotglasspickershamau864]

Both "Classic" Grundigs, the 960 and the AD950 Heinzelmann are repops from about 20 years ago.

[@craign8ca]

I’m looking forward to the Monroe ham fest this Sunday. N8CA

[@Spookieham]

You know you are an amateur when you watch this video and say "got that...got that"😁 the better stuff was outside in the car park. Agree about the Flexradio brilliant rig.

[@mikem5043]

Did that IFR spectrum analyzer sell?

[@n1kkri]

I can't wait for my next Hamvention. Hamvacation Orlando this Feb for sure!

[@cajuncoinhunter]

I have been looking for that IFR 1200S for about 5 years It was @5:25 time mark in this video .... Do you know if that guy still has it ?? He might have sold it by now ....

[@joerotman5214]

Wow a Kenwood RZ-1 .. rare bird indeed,
