Well the weather was perfect, the BBQ fired up and snags, burgers and soft-drink flowed and there was money and equipment changing hands at a pace!
We had 10 sellers with stands and carboots that were doing a swift trade and it was great to see some sellers who had traveled all the way from the North.
There was significant redistribution of amateur radio treasure during the day.
We sold at least 11 x 8.1m Aluminium masts and still have a good number for sale. It seems that everyone who bought a mast was using the amateur adage that is used post storms – “if your antenna is still standing – then it’s not big enough” as they all bought 8.1m and not 5.4m masts…HIHI!
So we will be converting our 5.4m masts into 8.1m mast kits for the remaining masts.
If you are interested in purchasing one or more for the princely sum of $40 each then please make contact the club – [email protected].
A big thank you to all the helpers throughout the day and special shoutout to Tony VK7VKT who was our executive chef on the BBQ plate.
