Pete Babacheck says
Good list. For the hams near the Ohio state line, you may want to take in the Fulton County Amateur Radio Club
Summer Outdoor Trunk Swap & Hamfest
Saturday June 2nd, 2018, 8:00am – 1:00pm. It’s in Wauseon Ohio, about 30 miles south of Adrian.
Pete Babacheck says
Oops me bad.
You have the Fulton County one listed with a different town.
David French says
Is there such a thing as too many hamfests?
Dave says
That was then, this is now. I just received word that the Breezeshooters 2022 Hamfest has been cancelled.
As of today, 5-16-22, I’ve heard nothing from Portage or 20 over 9, both Ohio clubs. Don’t know if Cuyahoga Falls is doing a trunkfest this year. This will be the third consecutive year for Breezeshooters and I believe that it will follow Timonium, Gaithersburg, and Triple States ARC into history.
