I would love to go. I have a lot of small items I'm looking for. I'll see how my weekend sets up. Is it a pretty good show?

Is it a pretty good show?

No idea, never been to one, never even heard of it before today.
A vendor from NYC told me about it, said he plans to attend, but he's never been there either.
Any South Shore or CC guys know how big this event is ???

Damnit, I'm already taking a CPR/First Aid Refresher class on Sat... There's a bunch of little things I'd like to look for....so be sure to let us know how it goes.

I spoke with a few Hams yesterday that said this has been a decent event in the past.

If I can get myself out of bed early enough I'm going to go down and check it out.

I went, I saw, I returned.

The NY vendor I was looking for never made it.
I found his phone number and spoke with him, his van broke down and he never got out of NYC.
He has the stuff I need, but we'll have to deal now through the mail because he won't be back up this way until the next Framingham Flea in March.

The Flea itself wasn't too bad, it was small, but it really was 90% Ham and radio stuff, which is unusual for these events nowadays.
I did grab a bag of Anderson power Poles (15A), an antenna and a speaker, so it wasn't a total bust.
I had to put some mileage on the car anyway, because I replaced the battery Thursday night, which reset the ECM and caused me to fail inspection yesterday.
Yes, I actually drove with a Rejected Sticker for a day. I went back to the inspection station for a retest and it passed.

BTW, I ran into our own Uncle Griz down there.

I went down and bought a few small items and some coax. Not a bad trip.
