I last went up there about '98 or '99. Got some good deals on some FM92's and Sawtrons - all the rage back around then. Wouldn't bother nowadays, as most things available from the field day can be had on the Internet.

[ivahri]

I don't know about that Scotty... I trawl around on the web & don't see quite a few of the rarer items found at Wyong. It comes down to what you are looking for- if its just 2 ways then forget it as the prices can be silly & the quality suspect. Still if Jaycar wasn't there, neither would I be. We probably have 5 coming from work this year, up from 3, and we will have a quiet toast to Lee Norrish as we have always sat down & had a cold one with Lee at Wyong in recent years. It will not be the same.

True, there are likely still some bargains to be had up there. All I was ever after were complete, fully functional radios, and with the internet nowadays I don't have to wait till 1 specific day to snap one up.

[Chrisco]

Last time I was there pick up a cheap power supply which I have used once or twice....
I will most likely be on Lake Macquarie helping run a canoe course our comms will be 493.2500mhz
