There will be a Ham Fest in Lexington on 9/24 from 8am to noon at the large Farmer's Market facility. A motion for the club to secure a table at this Ham Fest passed this month (July). The purpose is for goodwill in helping our neighboring club establish their Ham Fest, to promote membership to our club, to sell unused club equipment, and to have a good time!
The club has received donated equipment over the past couple years. Much of it is in an unknown state of repair/function or something the club just doesn't need. Equipment that can serve the club is cataloged by KK4RR and kept at his shack for club use.
In order to decrease the growing stockpile of equipment the club does not need, we will be selling it at the Lexington Ham Fest. NC4AR members are certainly welcome to purchase any of this equipment at the Ham Fest on a first come basis!
If you have equipment you would like to sell at the club's table at the Ham Fest, just let me know. This can be for your own profit, or as a donation to the club.
Here is a list of the equipment the club plans on selling: 1. Four mobile mystery antennas 2. Assorted random switches 3. line-men’s telephone x2 4.
