    Default Dallas First Saturday Swap Meet

    106 years ago, there used to be a amatuer radio swap meet at ECI on the corner of Ross and 75. About 90 years ago, it turned into all electronics. The last time I went, it was everything from tri-banders to puppies, and I am pretty sure they move under the bridge at the West End.

    Does anyone here know what I'm talking about?
    Have you been lately?
    Is it still worth the time for ham gear?
    If I decide to go May 7, anybody want to meet for breakfast?

    TIA for all the nonproductive input I know I'll get here

    I used to go @ like 10pm-2am back in the late 90's. It started to be a bunch of junk so I quit. Before Frys it was the cheapest place to buy components.

    Thanks guys. Looks like Friday night is the time to go.

    I started to say, "Get crabs at Dick's and then hang out under the bridge.", but that would be too tempting for some of our resident and you know who you are...

    Hard to believe those folks set up Friday night and hang around all weekend.

    I set up early Saturday morning... I'm too old to stay up all night. :)
