We should have a simplex freq. for NES members, we could also get a table to share if anybody has anything to sell, with a table you get two people in at 6:30am instead of having to wait until 9am. It's well worth the $20 to get in on the pre flea dealer pricing and trading that goes on before it opens to the public
Plan to go - will be my first.
Can call out on Marlborough (147.270) or Paxton repeaters...

I'll need to write down everyone's call so I know who to look for.
I'm a relatively inexperienced ham. Would it be legal to use "KB1CFR slash mobile N E S"?
Are you KB1CFR? That's too funny. I went with a Vanity of W1CFR
Oops, I remembered you got the perfect call for yourself but forgot it was a really cool 1x3 call instead of starting with KB1...
I'd love to go to Marlboro, but there's nothing I really need and my club in Gloucester is giving code classes Saturday morinings. My son and I are trying to remove the "no code" prefix from our names.
I'll be there...taking my exam...
Another ham in the making! Good luck and let us know how you did.
It doesn't cost anything to take the General test right after you pass the Tech, so give it a shot.
My first guess is you're an electrical engineer (or could play one on TV). Good luck and be sure to let us know how it went!Thanks, I plan to take all three, pretty confident on the tech and general but not so much on the advanced!

Any pointers to what to expect at the flea market - I was going to head up to HRO this week, but maybe I should wait until after Saturday.
I'm looking for a Heil mic setup for my HF rig and an antenna analyzer - or is the flea market old, used stuff?
Thanks

I used to pretend I was a train engineer does that count?
Whats your second guess lol
Well, you could have a photographic memory like my son, who at the age of 11 passed his Tech, then 2 weeks later got his General just by spending many hours with the on-line test generators and remembering the correct answers.
Still, I'm gonna guess you have a strong electronics background: private industry as a technician or you are military trained.
Pretty good show for me.
I picked up a few things
1) Astron 25A Power supply
2) MFJ Antenna Tuner(941 model)
3) (2) Sirius "demo units" lifetime activated sirus units, that u don't have to pay for a monthly fee with.
I was going to grab a G5RV, but the prices online are so much cheaper then they were at the show, I couldn't comfortably buy at the show.
