Join me as I walk through the Hamvention flea market and video some very nice vintage ham radio gear. Collins, Hammarlund, Johnson, National and more.
I'm an Amateur Radio enthusiast. I love the hobby and experimenting with radios, antennas and software. I have a lot of fun. On my UA-cam channel I upload videos mostly on the Icom 7300 and Icom 7610 as well as Ham Radio software programs. I hope to inspire people to get involved in Amateur Radio.

I credit 3 older Hams both w/coaxing me to get my Ham license, and getting me addicted to Hamfests! Those crazy guys would be up before dawn to hit the highway for several Hamfests! Always starting the Summer w/the biggest of em all, the Dayton Hamfest! Spent as much time visiting w/other Hams as we did gawking and buying. All those fellas are gone now.
b3j8 Yeah I think they’re a lot of fun and I wish we had more in our area. I guess we’ll just have to carry on the tradition, right? I hope all is well with you, take care and best 73!
@@HamRadioAdventures Thanks for the reply. My wish is that you and yours stay well! 73's, Terry KB9IHU

I stupidly lost my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Jaden Reginald Instablaster :)
@Louis Arturo thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Great video. I enjoyed seeing the vintage rigs. I see (@ 11:27), my old National NC-173 receiver I had in high school in 1963. Big and heavy but got the job done. 73s...
Thank you for watching and thank you so much for commenting. I enjoy seeing those old radios myself. Best 73!
Thank you for the video.
Love the older aesthetic. 73
Thank you for commenting!
Great video. Eating my heart over some of those gorgeous early BA receivers.
Thanks for watching and yes aren’t they beautiful! 73!
Just Like Being There ! Thanks, Really Enjoyed Your Video, 73 AC2JD
Richard Reiter Nice to hear from you and thank you for commenting here. I love a good ham fest in flea market! Best 73
Loved every minute of this video, hope you continue to do classics, 73, ve3ts
Some nice stuff.. Thanks for sharing. I also listen to the BBC daily. I work nights, so it's the only thing on when I get off in the morning. Can't check in, I can only listen due to antenna restrictions.
Yeah there were some really nice restored radios there. Much better than I imagined.
Had to pause 50+ times to read the prices on these wonderful "boat anchors" I could never afford as a new (1960) 12-year old ham.
RICK LETT Thank you for commenting and I know exactly what you mean! Best 73!
Well done. Will be so glad when we can go to hamfests again.
Me too Bill!
Where is this?
Great eye candy! Thanks for sharing!
that Collins gear is super, those items cost a fortune over here in Europe now
Dave Birch seems like that gear gets better with age. Thanks for commenting Dave and take care. Best 73!
Very nice. Thank you
Prabhakar V Thanks for watching! Best 73 from South Dakota!

It’s good to hear from you Dan and thank you for watching. Good DX and best 73!
APPRECIATED
Interesting video. Could be more interesting if you would tell us what we are looking at.
Okay, I’ll add some text or voice-over next time. Thank you for your comment. Best 73 & DX!
Great share!
Thanks for watching!
Hey hosh
All these Golden oldies make the modern rig look like cheap trash.
I could take $5k there, and come home broke!
If only I lived in the USA!!!
Very hard to find any of these fine boat anchors here down under.
73 and thanks so much for sharing 👌
I saw two Watkins Johnsons there, I have an 8718A which is qrt for parts.
Ótimo vídeo trabalho gualidade total bravo bazuka Foz do Iguaçu pr Brasil
The old stuff always looks cool. If we had known you were coming to Hamvention, we would have invited you to the UA-camr meetup Saturday. We'll have to get you next year! 73 K8TSG
Jason Siebert nice to hear from you and thank you for commenting here. I would love to do that next year.Hope to hear you on the air and best 73!
Nice survey of older equipment, thanks for posting! Is it just my imagination or have the prices at hamfests gone up significantly since the advent of online sites such as eBay? It seems to me it used to be easier to find "bargains" a few decades ago than it is now.
VE3ENX It is nice to hear from you and I hope all is well where you are. I agree I think prices are up due to eBay, but as always, if you wait long enough they come down towards the end of the show.Take care, stay safe and best 73!

Nicely done; but, sadly, I don't believe that I saw anyone younger than fifty!
Hi Ed, nice to hear from you. Good news, there were some youngsters at the Hamvention! 73 and Good DX in 2020!
And obese.
Looks like you found a campground near there. Which one? Was it nice? May try that next year if the XYL doesn't tag along.
I stayed at John Bryan State Park. It's very nice and not far from town. parks.ohiodnr.gov/johnbryan 73!
If you don't show the call signs or address those of us on here can't contact them.
Good to hear from you and I should put their call signs in their next time I will. Best 73!
When are they coming to Utah JohnBoyUtah KJ7TBR
I love these flea markets but have never bought anything. In general, are radio owners selling good, solid equipment or faulty junk? I dont see anything being tested and demonstrated. Also, prices are pretty high for used gear. Do radios EVER depreciate? Youd think they dont by the prices Ive seen.
Nice to hear from you and thanks for commenting here. Yes there is a lot of very good equipment for sale at the Hamvention flea market. Some of the vintage radios in the video were restored by qualified Hams. Great condition! Of course there was the other side, which was in need of repair. Priced low though. I saw a lot of good prices on much of the equipment. Other Ham radio flea markets will vary :-) Thanks again and 73!
@@HamRadioAdventures Thanks for the reply and the video, its very appreciated. And sorry if i sounded negative, it wasnt the intention. In the case of used equipment, ive met some really great, knowledgable Elmers who want to help and do the right thing, then you meet some nasty arrogant folks who kinda spoil it. Remember there are new people all the time and its probably helpful to narrate your video to explain some of the items, how they are used and even what you think they are worth.

Where is this located?
It's nice to hear from you and thanks for commenting. That was in Xenia, Ohio and where the next Hamvention will be in May of this year. 73 and good DX! de Rich KØPIR
I can't afford ham radio. I substitute with ground pork radio.
Where was this!
Great old Collins gear from down under i could easily fill up a shipping container send it back to oz vk3xxy.
Was parking a hassle?
Hi Martin, actually I didn't have any trouble that year. I parked at the High School and took the shuttle bus in. Never waited more than a few minutes on either side. The parking at the event is pretty good too, until it rains, HIHI. 73 and good DX! de Rich KØPIR
