Hall wasn’t quite full, a few empty tables but some interesting stuff there and pretty well attended. It was the first one since 2019 and I recommend this meeting. My case is rather heavier going home than it was coming here ….
This is definitely one of the better ones. Rosmalen (in Holland) La Louviere (in Belgium) and of course Friedrichshafen are the pick of the European Hamfests. In the U.K. the Dunstable Downs and Rugby meetings are worth attending, the rest rather hit and miss. The “National Hamfest” at Newark is always a bit of a disappointment in terms of organisation and merchandise but it’s just down the road from me so I occasionally attend. If people find it useful I’ll upload pictures of any that I go to next year.
Update: Sadly it seems that the organisers will no longer hold the Rosmalen fleamarket, so it will go the way of so many hamfests over the years: Landelijke Radio Vlooienmarkt – Bossche Radio Amateur Club
