The Northern New York Amateur Radio Association held its 1st annual swapfest on August 13th, 2022, at the Speculator Pavilion and Ball Field. Many people showed up to both buy and sell ham radio and computer related gear. There were many door prizes and give aways as well as a 50 / 50 raffle. We got to meet new people as well as put faces with the callsigns of the people we talk to regularly. The weather was perfect, and the temperature could not have been better once the fog lifted.
I would like to thank the Northern New York Amateur Radio Association, W2POL, KC2WI, WB2KLD, K2ALS, NQ2U, and many others for all their work in making this event happen. Thank You to the Hamilton County radio club for bringing and setting up the PA system! A big Thank You to all the people who came out and supported this event and made it a great success.
At the ARRL table we met a lot of new people and signed up some new members and renewals. Our Atlantic Division director Tom, W3TOM was on hand to support the event and answer questions. I would like to thank him for all the support he has given to the NNY Section! It is great to know we have his support and that he is working hard for our division and Amateur radio in general. Tom drove over 500 miles to be with us for this event!
Please send your pictures and I will try to post them here and on the NNY ARRL Page.
