EmCommWest and the Hamfest/fleamarket are held here in Reno; this year it will be May 6 & 7th. There has been talk of it moving somewhere else after this year, Las Vegas, perhaps.

The originator of the now emcommwest fleamarket used to be fun. One year, I bought a whole series of RCA tube manuals for about $5 for the entire box. Another trip, I bought a roll of half inch Helaix for cheap. The fleamarket used to be held in Reno - but unattached to another event. I don't have a clue as how well it is doing now.
