Wythall radio rally
Just a reminder to those in the midlands (or even the determined from afar): Wythall radio rally is this coming Sunday (17th March).
http://www.wythallradioclub.co.uk/hamfest/ Plenty of component vendors attend this rally, along with those bearing expensive boxes that require a license |

Re: Wythall radio rally
Good morning,
I am thinking of attending this year. I went last year and picked up some good vintage components.

Re: Wythall radio rally
I also hope to be going, been there for the last few years. Always been good and probably the largest remaining rally I go to.
All under cover as well. Peter |

Re: Wythall radio rally
I will be going, a good rally. I even had a stall there one year to get rid some stuff that would come in handy one day, I sold most of the stuff but unfortunately the volume of bits purchased almost equalled the volume I sold.

Re: Wythall radio rally
Hi Peter,
The 'Junction 28' South Normanton and district amateur radio club (SNADARC) rally is pretty substantive. It's in June and well worth a visit if you haven't been before. I attend as part of the NBTVA publicity team Last edited by Karen O; 13th Mar 2019 at 9:08 pm. Reason: missing word |

Hi Karen,
J28 has been on my “always attend” list for some years now and I agree it is well worth a visit. If you see me say hello and I’ll do the same. Peter |

Re: Wythall radio rally
I will probably visit the Wythall rally. I mustn't buy too much, as I am supposed to be getting rid of stuff I will never use.

Re: Wythall radio rally
Well, it started out in bright sunshine but turned to hail, then to rain which almost had my car stuck in mud on the field.
I looked out for you Peter, but with so many people and so much to look at it's not really surprising that I missed you. I bumped into Christopher. As always, I came away with some nice goodies, including a 1970s Intel 8080 microprocessor trainer. |

Re: Wythall radio rally
I was also there today, got a better set of knobs for my Bush sug26 also plenty of capacitors and some switches for the hedghog converter.
Had a chat with a few folks, drank tea. was a good day and I avoided the hail
