Ripon & District ARS Radio Rally/Hamfest 24/3/2024

Ripon & District ARS Radio Rally at the Great Ouseburn Village Hall(New venue)
I wasn't expecting a lot today but dear me it was packed with people.At one point you could hardly move!
Anyway here is peek into what was on offer on the day and at a guess I would say it was a resounding success for the sellers.
I managed to snag a couple of bargains that I will show in a future video.
Also big thanks to Canny Components for looking after me with some great deals.
Hopefully you'll enjoy this rough edit as I had to cut a lot of backsides out haha
Thanks for visiting the channel.

Thanks for coming along and producing a great video. I’m Chairman of Ripon & District Amateur Radio Society and, as you can see, our team worked very hard to host this year’s rally in a new venue. Delighted by the turn out and looking forward to seeing you all again at the next one. 73 Rod G4TEW

Thanks for the video Neil, very much a typical Amateur rally, some very nice gear mixed with lots of tat too 🙂

[@gtretroworld]

Thanks Dave, yeah you have to watch out for the rubbish especially the unrelated radio items that baffle me. I was surprised how much gear had sold on my second walk around though which most of this video is from. I have more footage but it is not really unusable as it was so busy. haha
